As some of us suspected, Wilco is the third "beloved band" playing with My Morning Jacket and Bob Dylan this summer. Wilco has confirmed that they, Richard Thompson trio and others will also be playing. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the "festival" that Dawes were referring to recently and might be on some dates. Details coming Monday at noon.
Maybe Dylan will have a good night this time. Last few times I caught him was disappointing.

I would love to see Bob again, although his voice is completely gone. I saw him, hmmm, like 15 years ago now? He was touring with Paul Simon. His voice was pretty shot then too. I stole a pink flamingo from his trailer (he used to travel with all these fake pink flamingos, he'd put them up around his trailer). I was working for the venue and had access anywhere I wanted. Bob saw me with his flamingo and stared at me pretty hard. I was young at the time, so I think he let me keep it for that reason. He just said to me, "Name it Bob quacking Dylan and you can have it." So, we did. My Dad kept that thing displayed in front of our barn until it rotted apart.

It's funny 'cause it's true! I still never miss an opportunity to see him, and like ITM said he's kinda hit or miss. I've heard Van Morrison is the same way but I haven't seen him yet. I've not seen MMJ or Wilco (that will be remedied at roo) so I'm all over this. I Can't imagine they'll skip Atlanta.
Does that mean hipsters would hate it because it's so cheesy or they would like it because it's so cheesy?
they would outwardly mock the folksiness of the term and attend a show ironically but secretly enjoy themselves? I feel like that is a trick question because isn't admitting to liking anything too pedestrian for a hipster?
I definitely did not mean for either of my posts about hipsters to be perjorative. I am the first to make fun of myself (see: many of my previous posts on this board) and I don't usually take or mean anything too seriously.

danbird posted on facebook about thinking that this tour could be added to Xponential Fest on that Sunday....I am not sure if that's rumored or anything yet but that'd definitely be interesting for the fest. They tend to have a pretty decent lineup for a smaller fest.
