China Gears Up for Bob Dylan Historic Debut
Concerts Sold Out, but Chinese Paper Mistakes Him for Willie NelsonBob Dylan will make his debut in China today, starting with a sell-out concert in Beijing followed by a gig in Shanghai on Friday.
It may be that Dylan has some way to go to win mass popularity in China, though. When the Xinmin Evening News, one of Shanghai’s most-read newspapers, wrote a story previewing his concert, they inadvertently used a picture of Willie Nelson.
“In China, maybe many people have heard of Dylan, but not many really know who he is,” said Zhang Xiaozhou, a Beijing music critic.

Maureen Dowd is a poseur. Bob is not. He’s always been a song-and-dance man.

When Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon
Where I can watch her waltz for free
’Neath her Panamanian moon
An’ I say, “Aw come on now,
You must know about my debutante”
An’ she says, “Your debutante just knows what you need,
But I know what you want”
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues againI just listened to the album on Tuesday, Lefty. It’s as great as ever! (I have to go back to it every so often)

In the words of his friend Bono: “Almost no one sings like Elvis Presley anymore. Hundreds try to sing like Dylan. To understand his impact as a singer, you have to imagine a world without Tom Waits, Kurt Cobain, Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams or any other vocalist with a cracked voice, dirtbowl yelp or bluesy street howl.”
