  • Bob Dylan Ruins Live Music

    Bob Dylan Ruins Live Music
    Dec 19 2023
    It’s not uncommon knowledge that Bob Dylan's live shows can be hit or miss. It depends on his mood and what songs he feels like playing. However, as a naive Dylan fan, my understanding of the artist was limited to the early-60s folk singer—the image of a man dwarfed by his guitar—the protest singer who denied ever singing a protest ballad. Yet, when I saw Bob Dylan live, he hid behind a keyboard, and his arrangements sounded nothing like the song. A sinking disappointment grew with every note. This was a bait-and-switch performance.

    ZZ Top Makes Me Feel Old
    Oct 24 2023
    Surveying the crowd, I realized I wasn't like these people. Many clung to walls for support and talked about seeing the band in the "good ole days." It dawned on me that ZZ Top would be the first and last concert for many of them. When was the last time I saw a "current" band? Was I missing my youth in exchange for seeing yesterday's heroes?
