Reasons why I should be very rich, number 307: I'd buy up the entire Bob Dylan catalogue and stop them being used in a Broadway musical. But, alas, I'm just not that wealthy, so the songs of Bob Dylan will in deed appear in a new Broadway show called 'The Times They Are A-Changin'. The show, which premiered in San Diego earlier this year, will be choreographed by Twyla Tharp, who adapted Billy Joel's hits for the show 'Movin Out', and will also feature classic tracks 'Subterranean Homesick Blues', 'Mr Tambourine Man' and 'Blowin' in the Wind'. I can't wait. To be rich enough to buy Dylan's catalogue, that is.
Meanwhile, Dylan himself will headline a 'peace concert' in the Basque city of San Sebastian, a celebration of the ongoing ceasefire of Basque separatist group Eta, who, having stopped their terrorist attacks, are now expected to enter into talks with Spanish political leaders. Commenting on the Dylan headlined event, the concert's organisers said: "We are living days of hope when at last peace is possible. The gathering of thousands of people united by the music and over political ideas of any kind looks like the best way to symbolise this moment."
