1. Most popular Bob Dylan video of 2010 shot down

This watched story happened behind the scenes at NJN Network. In April 2009, we posted the video on YouTube the week Bob Dylan released his 2nd last CD. More than 100,000 people watched it making it our most popular story of the year. For some reason, Bob Dylan or his organization thought our free promotion of the song was wrong so down it went along with our YouTube account.
