Happy 84th, Bob!

All-time Great Bob Dylan Quote “I’m afraid to go on the internet. I’m afraid somebody, some pervert’s gonna lure me somewhere.” Also perfectly encapsulates how the average 60 year old felt about the internet in 2001.

Mankato!

Imagine you have a great uncle in his 80s. He’s led an amazing life full of adventure - traveled to every corner of the world, been present at numerous historic events, and rubbed shoulders with celebrities and significant cultural figures.

I laugh every time I see this. Hypocrite!

The final session for Blood on the Tracks was 50 years ago today. Here’s guitarist Kevin Odegard’s memory of that night in south Minneapolis.

Look who I ran into in the skyway - @atrupar! Go Wolves!

VIDEO: Myself and Paul Metsa talk with the Bob Dylan Book Club (bobdylanbookclub.com) about our Bob in Minnesota book. If you like reading and talking about Bob, I recommend signing up and joining their monthly online meetings. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Someone from Hibbing will perform in Tulsa. Drummer Bill Berg is now on board, making it four Blood on the Tracks players reuniting.

Happy Holidays! Who can name all the clips?

Great stuff from @JayGabler. This would have made a great chapter in Bob Dylan in Minnesota - The Zimmermans in local media in the ‘20s and ‘30s.

"You sound like a bunch of big hardcore Bob Dylan nerds talking about all the obscure details and stuff." -One of my kids recently, after listening to me and my wife talking

Happy birthday to my pal Gene LaFond. He’s led a fascinating life, including when he traveled the country on tour with Bob Dylan in the 70s and 80s. Hear a bit from Geno here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=2D04...

Another hospital day

The Homer Theater was one of several theaters in Hibbing owned by Bob’s relatives. It’s now Homer’s Bar. Pics show it nearly 100 years ago and today.

The new @bobdylan biopic, "A Complete Unknown", will premiere in Hibbing on December 20th at the Mann Theatre 5 days before the nationwide opening. donorbox.org/events/707609

Watching old SNL. Harry Dean Stanton is hosting the first episode of ‘86 and pretty sure that’s Tony Garnier sitting in with GE Smith.

Steven Jenkins reports there will be a new @bobdylan Bootleg Series release of “very early material” in the fall of ‘25.

It would be just like Bob to keep playing nine Rough and Rowdy Ways songs at every show next spring.

Bob never met Elvis, but we now know he watched the comeback special in Woodstock with the Band.

My goal is to follow and be followed by as many of the online @bobdylan fans out there as possible. That number was previously in the many thousands on the platform that shall remain nameless. Appreciate you all helping reassemble the community.

Going to recycle some content to liven it up in here. Here’s a supercut of a bunch of my Bobcats podcast interviews, edited so it’s all the interesting guests talking and none of me, which is nice. m.youtube.com/watch?v=1hRm...

Coming up Sunday in Minneapolis. The Tulsa Dylan team will play Bob videos on the movie theater screen at the Parkway Theater. Don’t you dare miss it. www.soundunseen.com/events/mpls-...

Has the mass exodus finally begun? If this is the place where something’s still going on, count me in.

If you have a pic of Bob smiling bigger than this on stage, I would love to see it.
