A Folk Festival's Idol Returns. Bob Dylan returns to the Newport Folk Festival today after 37 years. The question is what will he do? By George Wein. [New York Times: Opinion]
What do you mean, what will he do? I bet he'll play one of his festival shows, 12-14 songs. Since it's the start of the tour, the question is which, if any, unusual songs he'll throw into the mix, and also, I suppose, if he's fired any of his band members. We'll know soon enough on the news group. [Steve's No Direction Home Page]
I don't expect any surprises from Dylan anymore in terms of song selection. I just wish that I could be there to experience the electricity in the air right before he hits the stage. This band can, and usually does, blow the roof off the sucker. Since, in the case of Newport, the roof is the night sky, the potential for cosmic hilarity is great indeed.
