Wishful thinking, no doubt, LWj, but I think we’re in for an excellent show this Sat. I believe Fuji will be there…who else is coming to the Flower City?
Thanks for posting, T & B. Would take that set list on 3/14 in a heartbeat. Can’t wait to meet the merchandise lady!
TITLE-TRACK BLUES
Ben Greenman, The New YorkerInformation continues to trickle out about Bob Dylan’s as yet unnamed upcoming new album—including, possibly, the title. As a result of a listing on a Norwegian Web site, fans have started speculating that the new album will be called “I Feel a Change Coming On.” According to David Fricke’s recent article in Rolling Stone, that is also the name of one of the ten originals on the new record. It seems unlikely, though not impossible, that both of these things are true. While there are artists who tend to put title songs on nearly every record, from Prince (“1999,” “Purple Rain,” “Sign ‘o’ The Times”) to Michael Jackson (“Off the Wall,” “Thriller,” “Bad”), Dylan rarely follows this practice. Of his thirty-odd albums, only a fraction use song titles as album titles (“The Times They Are A-Changin’,” “Highway 61 Revisited,” “John Wesley Harding,” “New Morning,” “Shot of Love,” “Under the Red Sky”). There’s no song named “Blonde on Blonde,” no song named “Blood on the Tracks,” no song named “Infidels,” and no title songs for his most recent trilogy: “Time Out of Mind,” “Love and Theft,” “Modern Times.” Do you think that the Dylan album will actually be named “I Feel a Change Coming On,” or do you feel a title change coming on?

Delayed response, stoger – – sorry. My one and only for this leg will be Rochester on 3/14. I’ll have my trusty(?) pen & notepad with me. Good reporting on a number of shows, I might add. Thanks, gang.

A different interview; not worth a new thread.
These tend to get a bit repetitive…“We all know that Bob would look awesome in a tutu-ala-rolling-thunder.”
Heartily disagree with you on that one, David. But, that’s what makes the world go ’round.
