A lesson learned from Dylan
By JOE KONZE JR | Apr. 7, 2013When 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 received some backlash from my friends who worship Dylan, but I still agreed to go. As he sang his first note to "Things Have Changed," an Academy-Award-winning song, I still only saw an old man singing words I couldn't understand into the microphone. 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.
