The times sure *are* a-changin', when old Bobby--no matter how cynical he comes off at various times--would consent to this variety of sell-out, if only because it makes him look like an elderly panderer to middle-class, middle-aged sensibilities. To my mind, wouldn't there once have been an essential cognitive dissonance inherent in hearing "Bob Dylan" and "Broadway show" in the same sentence?! It surprises me that this thing ever even made it off the proverbial drawing board, there's just something basically WRONG with the concept, you know?! ~D
