For those of you not living in crippling poverty...

might I recommend that you attend one of the upcoming performances by Bob Dylan at Los Angeles' very own semi-historic not-at-all-warehouse-like Pantages Theater. He'll be playing with special guest Merle Haggard, and as with all Dylan shows, he will, in fact, be rocking out with his cock out. So, be warned.

In all seriousness, folks, I've seen Bobby D. twice, and I can tell you that he puts on a hell of a rock and roll show. You hear a good mixture of classic tunes, covers and newer Dylan songs, but he reinvents each one to fit his current style, mood or however he's feeling that night. On the last tour, he played almost exclusively on the keyboards and left the guitar work to his (very capable) band, but you never quite know what you're going to get anyway. The old guy is full of surprises.

So, anyway, he's at the Pantages March 21-26, and I highly recommend checking it out. For more details, see the man's web page here. He's a solid dude.
