I realize there's a lot of issues/things going on in the world today that would be far more important to discuss, but as the World Cup soccer tourney stomps along, I'm sure I've seen/heard the (Canadian) Rogers Mobile Phone ad about a thousand times - and the music track underneath sounds like a Bob Dylan song, but being the music nut that I be, I cannot place it.
Help me someone....ARTIST & SONG?

The guitar sounds kind of like Tragically Hip, but the voice at the end sounds like Dylan.
A google search of the lyrics turned up this page, which is for a Japanese hip-hop group called "Kick the Can Crew", who may just be sampling this song or completely unrelated. I don't know, I don't speak Japanese.

I'm going to post your comment on the front page for tomorrow. I'm telling you, war stories are the best reading. I'll cross-link to here. Thanks for commenting!
Diva: yikes! Now the pressure is really on to perform... yet my most pressing issue is still to find out who does the song on that Rogers commercial - at least jut gave it a shot --- anyone?
wow - that is one seriously hard to find song. I failed, too.
I did, however, find a link here:

Some guy said he was e-mailing Rogers' & would update the post with the answer.
Might just bookmark that site for a bit until somebody gets the song :)
thanks Dave...very cool - yeah its driving me nuts, and may just be a song performed for the commercial by an unknown band, but..it...sounds...so...familar!
Sorry Will, we don't get that add here (& I dont dare to watch the clip at work) - bummer...
Hope you'll be able to solve the mystery soon!
Good luck
