His voice is warbly and slightly off key, his hair could house a family of birds, and only about a third of his lyrics make any sense whatsoever. Yet, Bob Dylan still manages to be one of the best performers and songwriters in pop/rock & folk history. He's courted the likes of Joan Baez, rubbed shoulders with Allen Ginsberg, shared herbal SUPPLEMENTS with the Beatles, and simultaneously won over and alienated critics and fans alike. His latest release, 2009's Together for Life, proved that old age certainly hasn't robbed him of his talent or mystique.

He's also got the much anticipated bootleg album The Witmark Demos coming out. In light of this, there's no better time to see Dylan play live. Fans young and old can expect to hear classic favorites and new tracks. If you can't go see him, then just pay a friend to do some Dylan impressions for you. On second thought, scratch that idea and just go see this living legend do what he does best. You're sure to have a fun time. But if he pulls out an electric guitar at anytime during the set then, please, go easy on him. Don't yell "Judas!" or anything: iconic troubadours have feelings, too.
