It is the point when defense contractors also suck off the public teat. Corporate welfare. Puts dollars in Dick Cheney's pockets.

Andrew Bird is local?
3:35 pm
He recorded his latest album here.
4:13 pm
I thought for a second that Patrick Costello was going to be working with Dylan.
4:22 pm
Two thirds of the Bird ensemble live here. Martin Dosh and Jeremy Ylvisaker; also featured in the video.
Regardless, I don’t think MFR sticks to writing about local acts exclusively.

The Strib said a week or so ago that the Dylan/Costello joint tour was coming here. I guess that’s not the case?
5:24 pm
Still curious how Bob Mould is going to work at Bryant-Lake Bowl. Sure, there was the whole modulate. fiasco, but he’s not Perry Farrell yet, either… is he?

subhed @ pitchfork
Your parents are so stoked right now
lol

Yeah, that’s hilarious. Because only old people could possibly be interested in Bob Dylan, let alone Elvis Costello, right? Because they’re certainly no motherfucking Deerhoof!
7:40 pm
Agree with just sayin’ about Dylan being no Deerhoof.
Those dudes ROCK.

People who choose to ignore music from previous generations are so transparently closed-minded and missing out on a TON of good stuff… and same thing applies in reverse for people who only listen to old music.
You can listen to new music and old music, you know… you don’t have to decide between one or the other.
Dylan has earned his legend status 1,000 times over… if you can’t get behind that then I feel sorry for you.

By the way, a Patrick Costello/Dylan collaboration does sound promising.
