Vandaag is het de langste dag van het jaar. En het is Vaderdag. Misschien een suggestie voor Dylan om in

de The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park te San Diego het nummer Father Of Night te spelen.

Bovenstaand de setlist van gisteravond in Highland, California (met dank aan BobLinks).

Geen uitvoering van Highlands, maar dat lied speelt zich misschien ook niet af in Californië. Net als in Santa Barbara speelde Julian Lage de elektrische gitaar, in plaats van Doug Lancio. Als ik Tom Willems moet geloven, en dat doe ik graag, speelt Lage binnenkort op het North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam - dus het is ook een beetje de vraag wat er in de band van Dylan gaande is. Ik lees het vanzelf op het wereldwijde web.

Klokken overleven

Bob Dylan filosofeert over ouder worden. The New York Times vroeg bekende mensen over het leven ná je 80e. Daar valt Dylan natuurlijk ook onder. "Het beste aan tachtig zijn is dat je de klokken overleeft die je altijd op de hielen hebben gezeten", zegt Dylan. Mooi gezegd.

Nog zo'n quote: "Als je jong bent, denk je dat de tijd vooruitgaat. Op je tachtigste weet je dat dat niet zo is; de tijd staat stil. Wij zijn degenen die bewegen."

Tijd is in Dylan's oeuvre een bekend thema. Daar besteedt nieuwsmedium Nu.nl dan geen aandacht aan. De entertainmentredactie gaat vooral over nieuwtjes, niet over een uitgebreide analyse. Dat moet op een ander moment op een andere plek, vermoed ik.

Desalniettemin is het natuurlijk mooi om Dylan te lezen over tijd. Het gaat ergens over, en niet alleen over het zoveelste huwelijk van een BN'er.

Bovenstaand de setlist van gisteravond in Berkeley, California (met dank aan BobLinks).

Mooi trouwens, dat Crossing the Rubicon klinkt in het Greek Theatre. Donald Trump vierde overigens zijn 80e verjaardag. Of Dylan een uitnodiging heeft gekregen (neem je zwemkleren mee - we zeggen niet wat we gaan doen, en je wordt thuisgebracht!), lijkt me sterk. Nog sterker lijkt het me dat Dylan enthousiast zou reageren op een invitatie door The Donald.
