It's hard to say when Bob Dylan stopped being one of the "people" he told to "gather 'round" in "The Times They Are A-Changin'" (probably during the pancake makeup days of The Rolling Thunder Revue), but while he's sold more records than God (yes, even the ones He recorded with T-Pain) and become such a legend that even his shittiest releases are hailed as "the best since Blood On The Tracks," he still likes to come down to our level on occasion. Thus, the second iteration of Dylan's Ballpark Tour, which drops the apple-pie pleasure of a rock 'n' roll show in the middle of baseball stadiums in all-American towns like Sauget, Ill. and Stockton, Calif. Round Rock happens to be one such town, and August 4 will find Dylan mumbling through cuts from his new, critically sorta-grudgingly-liked record Together Through Life along with fellow reg'lar folks Willie Nelson and John "Don't you dare even think about putting 'Cougar' near my last name, you smart-ass journalist" Mellencamp. Keep your fingers crossed that Dylan drops some oldies like "Desolation Row," and that things turn out better than his somewhat disappointing headlining set at ACL two years ago.
