    I think many Dylan fans will have issues with JM being on the ticket (if indeed it comes to fruition.)

    They’ll get over it… :mrgreen:

    I can imagine that some (not all) JM fans will be horrified by BD.

    This just posted on Mellencamp’s website (with a disclaimer saying nothing is set in stone 😆 )Typically, nothing is posted until confirmed on JM’s website, but I think there is too much information out there on the internet, so they are fanning some flames.

    “Summer Tour: A special tour is in the works, slated to start in early July and run through the end of August. It will play at minor league baseball fields, with John sharing top billing with two other major artists.”

    Also, a fan posted into forums this info…

    “Mellencamp, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson will play at GCS Ballpark in Sauget, IL — just outside of St. Louis — sometime in early July (specific date not yet known). Tickets on sale in late April or early May. You heard it here first.”

    Sorry, Lefty, looks like solo shows, at least for part of the summer, will be for naught. I’m not so sure I’m digging the ballpark thing but, hey, I’m really not complaining. JM will be out on the road again, when he said he probably wouldn’t tour this year.

    Outdoor shows do have their issues, but minor league ballparks? You can’t get more “Americana” than that… 😉

    Did 2 Bob ballpark shows…Cooperstown, NY, ’04 & Rochester, NY, ’05. They were A-OK.
    If JM, the Bobster & Grampa Willie do one of those in your vicinity, CB, you’d best attend.

    You are absolutely right. I have only been in one minor league ball park. I was assuming they are massive, forgetting they are smaller.

    Lefty, thanks for the encouragement. Grampa Willie… 😆

    Today was a big day. I’m giddy. Mellencamp and Lucinda tour plan teasers.

    Lefty, any rumblings in the Dylan camp about tour announcement? We were given a tease tonight in JM’s forums by the fan club manager, using a storm analogy. According to the tease, announcement could be as soon as Friday thru Monday, with the storm starting on the east coast and heading to the west coast.
