Bob Dylan Believes in Detroit in Super Bowl Commercial

Bob Dylan Super Bowl Commercial
Chrysler has corralled some big names for its commercials advocating for beleaguered Detroit, Michigan. After Eminem and Clint Eastwood in past ads, this year’s Chrysler Super Bowl commercial featured the somewhat elusive Bob Dylan, who asks, “Is there anything more American than America?” Check it out.

If you are wondering about the music playing in the background of the commercial, it is Dylan’s “Things Have Changed,” even though an underlying theme of the commercial might be that things have not changed. The song first appeared in the movie Wonder Boys (2000), which starred Michael Douglas.

Dylan is not new to commercials, and the Chrysler television ad was not even Dylan’s only appearance on a Super Bowl commercial this year. His song “I Want You” played in the background of a Chobani yogurt commercial.
