Still got it. 

Jk, jk. But Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the man is grizzled, no? His face finally looks the way his voice sounds. Although his voice has also become croakier as the years have passed. Minor details. Dylan is aging gracefully when it comes down to it, unlike certain other heroes of mine, and the jumpin' bluesman/insane cowboy persona he's wearing here at the twilight of his career fits him fine. He's still touring steadily, and Starlight has just announced an August 7 show. Tickets are on sale June 25 at 9 a.m.  

It should be noted that Dylan is a better performer these days than he was in the mid-90s, when I'm pretty sure I watched him fall asleep on stage at Spirit Fest. He seems excited by his new material, so it's probably safe to expect a set heavy on Mississippi Delta blues numbers culled from recent albums Love and Theft, Modern Times, and Together Through Life, along with reworked versions of the classics.

Dylan at his worst is still better than anyone else at their best. Over 200 tour dates a year. In Europe now playing in places no one else would dare go, with packed houses full of rabid fans singing along with "Just Like A Woman, regardless of their first language. This guy is a treasure, not to be missed. He is quite simply, The Song and Dance Man, with a song for any occasion

dylan was great during the early to mid 90s after that he hit a stone(or stoned) wall he was drinking heavy and just showed up at his concerts coulbn't care less about the size of the crowd who was backing him or anything else. he always got his money up front or he wouldn't go on stage. then he changed again undertaking a quest to tip the windmill just like cervantes don quixote? i don't think i spelled that right. actually won a couple of grammys and an oscar was honored by everything you can think of even received the kennedy center award and a pulitzer . he reconquered himself from the way he took care of himself and is back on his A- game. it's good to have him back
