> "In over 40 years, Bob Dylan has not performed in the United States." I can't get past the opening of that article. Am I missing something? What is the forty year period that Bob Dylan has not performed in the United States?
Yea. That can’t be true. I’m in my 30’s and I’ve seen him perform.
This rest of the article was just as poorly written/thought out.
When I was younger, I listened to a lot of Dylan’s classic stuff and then drove 10 hours to see him in concert. I was massively disappointed that the era of a guy sitting alone on a stool singing poetry were long gone. He was with some sort of jazz rock band that was so god awful I left halfway through. Worse still, he faced perpendicular to the audience, never looked up from the keyboard, and left me with a distinct “Weekend at Bernie’s” feel. A few years later he played my hometown and I went again, ever the optimist hoping that the previous show had been a fluke, the consequence of falling in with a bad (jazz-rock) crowd. Alas, it was the same and I left twenty minutes into it. Seems the never-ending tour should’ve ended.
