Bob Dylan has just announced a 24-date summer tour with supporting act, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. Dylan made news earlier this week when he canceled his upcoming 14-date tour of Japan due to the Coronavirus. His summer dates kick off on June 4th in Bend, Oregon at Les Schwab Amphitheatre and run through July 12th when he'll play Bethel Woods, New York's Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
Bob Dylan's work has been analyzed for over half-a-century. He's been labeled many things by fans and the press — a poet, a prophet, and a musical genius — one thing he adamantly says he's not, is a “storyteller”: “I wouldn't really call them stories. Stories are things, which have a beginning middle and an end. My things are more like short attention span things that happen to a group or crowd of people that goes down very quickly, so, no — I wouldn't even notice it.”
