Getting ready for the Dylan concert at Rock Cats Stadium on Tuesday night. Tailgating at 3:30pm in parking lot; look for Johnny Gumbo's tan Blazer with 'DOC JR' plates (why he has plates on his blazer, I do not know; personally, I would go with a monogrammed pocket square). Hot dogs, burgers, buns, condiments already secured, so byob and anything else you might like to contribute. New Dylan CD Modern Times out that day and I will try to have it for tailgating. The Courant's Eric Danton gave the new CD a lukewarm review, but suggested "... perhaps Bob Dylan's new songs will come to life in a live setting, when he performs Aug. 29 at Rock Cats Stadium in New Britain." Alternatively, All Music Guide gave Modern Times rave reviews as "...the work of a professional mythmaker, a back-alley magician and prophetic creator of mischief. It offers a view of the pilgrim as pickpocket, the thief as holy man, the lover as the fighter. And all bets are on to see who finishes dead last. What could be more confusing or so ultimately timeless as contradiction as entertainment, provided with a knowing, barely detectable grin." We shall see.
Just out is the news that Bobby will be touring with The Reconteurs (Jack White's new band) beginning in November. - complete story
