THE TIMES HAVE NOT A-CHANGED
I like outrage as much as the next person, but could everyone please shut the hell up about the new Bob Dylan/Twyla Tharp collaboration currently on Broadway? I can't believe there are people out there who still regard Dylan as a symbol of intergrity and authenticity, or are unaware of how much he seems to enjoy givng his fans' nipples a tweak. The guy said it himself--he's "just a song and dance man."
Yes kids, it hurts when your idols reveal that they never really cared what you thought, that they were in the game for reasons that had nothing to do with you and your need for a savior. It's a painful moment when you discover that the weasel who just slipped a roofie in your drink is your hero, and that he can't stop giggling. But so what if Dylan is a lot closer to Andrew Lloyd Weber than Woody Guthrie?
That said, I wouldn't see the show if you rented out the theater for me. Never mind that I'd have to sell another kidney to be able to afford a balcony seat.

hey hector. i was interested to see that you linked an article from the source (www.iowasource.com). in case you weren't aware (but you prob are), our mentor dan coffey writes a column for it. his column is not the funniest thing in the world--but it's nice to see he's still a little off but not yet completely batshit crazy. the source article linked from your post is written by james moore, the guy who runs our radio station, KRUU (www.kruufm.com). he's been a champion of my comedy show--incl our KPUT krap.
