So I meant to ask about this a few days ago after Lance's and others' raves about Dylan. Can he really still sing? Will Will, I don't know how to convey how skeptical I was before I saw him. Your very question, in fact, was pre-eminently on my mind. I was expecting to be respectfully bored

What I have noticed is that many people, even devout Dylan fans, are disappointed when they hear Dylan live for the first time. My first time was Wembley Arena 1987, backed by Petty and the Heartbreakers. It wasn't bad (the Heartbreakers could make anyone sound good, really), but not great
