You don’t often see Bob Dylan in a supporting role. But at the SNACK Benefit Concert at Kezar Stadium on the edge of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park on March 23rd 1975, he’s essentially a backing musician for the event’s headline act, Neil Young. 🧵 📷 Alvan Meyerowitz

@Pete_r_Knox @lpelfpaw Now you're making me want to read it just to see how bad it could be.

@DylanRevisited @lpelfpaw It's honestly unreadable.

Feel like I should an opinion on Bob Dylan’s new Patreon thing. But that would involve listening to the stories and I haven’t even read Tarantula yet.

@jimbobcooter200 Appreciate you looking out for my sanity

@DylanRevisited Dont.

@chiggins1966 Sorry - Chat GPT is down

@DylanRevisited Okay. Still waiting.

@chiggins1966 I’ve reviewed from the perspective of Wyatt Earp

@DylanRevisited Gonna need that review of Tarantula on my desk by tomorrow morning.

@DylanRevisited Honestly no need for either

@lpelfpaw Ha ha - I will read Tarantula at some point though. He put years into it, it's the least I can do.

@ArsenioOrteza I’ve heard that. Probably why I keep putting off reading it.

@DylanRevisited And you'll never read 'Tarantula' all the way because once you start you won't want to finish.

@batcountry1980 @LtGenScott If management want their staff to earn more money maybe they should pay them more

Americans are mad for tips. It’s nowhere near as bad as that over here. You don’t tip in pubs, for instance. And I can’t imagine seeing a sign like that anywhere. For one, the owners aren’t that daft. If everyone decides after seeing that sign they aren’t going in there then the company gets nothing, which is the point you’re making. But also, in these trying times, there’s people that want to go out and celebrate a family birthday but are skint, so will look at the menu, total it up, and decide if they can go somewhere. That 25% might mean they can’t afford it. These people might work all week on minimum wage, scraping to get by more than the staff in the restaurant, and now can’t afford to eat in there because of tipping? That’s not on.

This just drives business away. Like if I walk into a pizza shop carrying my own iced tea. The guy at the counter says no outside beverages. I say, "Fine. I'll get something to eat somewhere else." The monumental stupidity of turning away $5 because you wanted $8. Same thing with not allowing adults to order off the kiddie menu. For me, it's not about the price. It's about the portion & calories. Kiddie meals are great for me. But some places won't let you do that. I was in one such place - WITH A GROUP. Waitress takes the order. Gets to me. I try to order off the kids' menu. She says no. I say, "Then skip me. I'll have nothing." I can't believe that there are places that would refuse money in the hand over a really stupid principle. And they're also turning down *future* money from me. No wonder so many restaurants fail.

"what's essentially true is virtual reality. technology to wipe out truth is now available. not everybody can afford it but it's available. when the cost comes down look out!" —BOB DYLAN (World Gone Wrong liner notes, 1993)

@t0mbstoneblues @chiffchat Straight onto my reading list

On an important and related note, I'm excited to start reading this new book from @chiffchat

Saw the delightful Stella Donnelly at Alphabet in Brighton last night. Very impressed with how she’s revamped a lot of her old solo acoustic songs for a band. New stuff sounded great and the big singalong for How Was Your Day? at the end was a joy.

Bringing It All Back Home is split into electric and acoustic sides. But as I explore in the new episode of the Dylan Revisited podcast, the real divide between past and future is not as straightforward as that. Listen now - links below 👇

@Griffin6236 When I was listening to all the Tour 74 concerts, the one song I never got tired of hearing was It's Alright Ma. And by his consistently great performances, I'd say neither did Bob.

@DylanRevisited Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The hand made blade, the child's balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying
