Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan’s co-headlining Outlaw Music Festival Tour has temporarily hit pause after a powerful storm damaged gear during a recent stop in Missouri, forcing the cancellation of their July 1 show in Oklahoma.
The June 29 concert at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena in Ridgedale, Missouri, was abruptly cut short when heavy rains and high winds swept through the venue.

In his book "A Tramp Abroad," Mark Twain describes the enthusiasm in Germany for an aged singer in concert, and the power of sheer nostalgia combined with a willful suspension of expectations.

You don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.

With a ridiculous ‘outlaw’ theme. Total absurdity.

Bob Dylan is my all time favorite in show business. I should have gotten around to writing a book I planned about him but didn’t. Once counted the books about him I have read. Went over 110. New ones recently.
I was late in buying his albums-—started with the second one.
God bless him.
I despise Nelson personally, but I absolutely love his singing. I am a woman. Don’t know if that makes a difference.

Not only that, but Bob Vylan couldn’t make it either ...
My son went to see this concert last week in TN. I asked him how it was and he said “interesting. I’m glad I got to experience it”.
Mr G saw Dylan in concert when he worked on the Dylan and the Dead album. He said Dylan just had an “aura” about him.
Since both these men have a combined 95 years in the music business, and neither is “star struck” I find their reactions intriguing.
“Octogenarians in concert?’
Octogenarian - Willie turned 92 a couple of months ago.
Maybe if Keith Richards or Van Morrison showed up...
