Texas fans who want to see the 60s icon better book tickets now, because if history is any indication, his loyal fans across the nation will do anything to see him in concert, even come to Texas to snatch up those tickets.

A Little Bob Dylan History
The superstar is known for shaking up the music world, and he has done so since the beginning of his career. He was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in 1941, and has been one of the most influential singer/songwriters in history. In the 60s, when the nation was mired in social unrest, Dylan’s lyrics spoke to many disillusioned youth. He was dubbed the spokesman for his generation, although when being interviewed, he always denied that. But, even if it was unintentional, Dylan’s lyrics in songs like Blowin’ in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changin became well known in the anti-war movement and civil rights arenas.

Bob Dylan is Full of Surprises
In a culture that was enamoured with folk music, Bob Dylan walked out on stage at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 and picked up his electric guitar. This was unheard of at the time, and most of the reigning leaders in the music business considered it too commercial and unpure. In fact, Dylan was booed off the stage after only three songs, but the world of music has never been the same.
Fast forward to 2015. In another surprise move, Dylan, the game changing musician, once again rocked the music world with his latest album release, Shadows in the Night. The album consists of old standards, which were popularized by Frank Sinatra and includes only slow dance songs with a romantic tinge—no lyrics decrying social unrest on this album. Yes, the man who rocked the music world forty years ago by going electric when unplugged folk ruled the day, has just released an album full of old time love songs.

A Mellower Bob Dylan
These days Dylan is playing to a different crowd. They are no longer the youth who are helping shape our country, but those who have lived great lives and now want to reflect on what’s good. In an effort to gain publicity for his new album, Dylan sent out 500,000 free copies of his new album to randomly selected members of AARP. The seniors didn’t expect the albums and found them as a surprise in their mailboxes. This is in contrast to his usual way of releasing a new album-doing it through a Rolling Stones exclusive interview.
Of the songs that he chose to include on the album, Dylan says, “There is nothing contrived in these songs. There is not one false word in any of them.” Those comments have lead some reviewers to compare that statement to the way Dylan used to talk about the ancient secrets he used in unlocking folk songs.
Although Bob Dylan is said to be on a never ending tour, the fact remains that for Texans, there is only three chances to see Bob Dylan on his 2015 Spring Tour, and at least one of the venues—the Majestic in San Antonio—is not very large, so it won’t hold a lot of fans. That means if fans haven’t already reserved their seats to see Bob Dylan for his one month long Spring Tour, they probably shouldn’t wait too much longer to get them.
