When it was announced that Bob Dylan would be performing at UB, I was not impressed. Why would anyone be excited to see a mumbling old man - the voice of a generation on its way to the grave - perform?

I thought to myself: "I was right, this is going to be a long night." But all of a sudden, as Dylan swayed his hips back and forth, dancing to the music, the sound of a soulful harmonica melted my face. At this point during the show, I finally recognized Dylan's true importance to the world of music.
