Well, I've just about heard everything now

Turns out Bob Dylan will grace the MGM Grand at Foxwoods theater stage Aug. 15. Yeah, Bob Dylan.

I'll admit, despite the best efforts of several people, I've never been a huge Dylan fan. But I've always understood his counter-culture, folky stance to be, well, in direct opposition of all things glamor, glitz and ritz. Turns out there are at least two other casino stops on his late summer, early fall tour.

Esteemed coworker and Dylanite Dustin Racioppi said he'd probably be in the audience, despite the somewhat intriguing venue.

“I don’t know what the hell is going on with old Bob," he said.

The times, indeed, they are a changin'.

This means he has come a long way from playing at the Newport Folk Festival as well as appearing with Joan Baez at Powder Ridge Ski Facility.

Indeed. With the longevity of his career and his willingness to reinvent himself, Dylan may just as well end up playing an evening of Sinatra covers.....
