Bob Dylan has just rolled out a 22-date North American fall tour, marking the first shows of what is being billed as his “Rough And Rowdy Ways Worldwide Tour 2021-2024.” The moniker for the three-year trek takes its name from Dylan' last studio set, which peaked at Number Two on the Billboard 200 last year.
As it stands now, the 80-year-old Dylan and his band kick off the month-long run on November 2nd at Milwaukee's Riverside Theatre and winds the year down on December 2nd at The Anthem in Washington, D.C.
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.”
