In 1967, Bob Dylan made a brilliant—and now legendary—opening segment for the documentary "Don't Look Back" using the song "Subterranean Homesick Blues." Now, the site advertising his upcoming collection allows you to substitute your own text for the title cards from that film clip. Yes, it's a promotional gimmick. But the small thrill of seeing young Dylan holding up papers emblazoned with your own commentary is too delicious to pass up. All you need is a friend's email and enough text to fill 10 sheets. Dylan does the rest. Once we blasted our pals with messages, we paused to wonder how the heck Ten 4, the British design team behind the site, got the legendary, scratchy-voiced, irascible maven to agree to this. We tip our hats to their marketing prowess. And we're sending another loopy missive off, backed by the jangly rhythms of Dylan's electric tune. God knows when, but we're doin' it again.
