Good news. Hope he'll be playing a couple of new ones when I'll be seeing him late this month.

Probably not. He generally doesn't play new material until the album's released, even when he's touring right before the release of that album. This was his MO prior to the release of both Time Out of Mind and Modern Times.

I wonder what the critical response will be this time... IMO Modern Times was somewhat overrated. If the majority among the seas of Dylan critics feel the same way, they might compensate on this one and tear this one down preemptively. Plus this messes with the nonsensical "trilogy" idea that amused them so.
from the lyrics, it doesn't sound like bob's getting any cheerier, does it?

This is what you get from a guy born in 1941 who NEVER stops working (constant touring with ever-evolving performances, a radio show PLUS new songs).
Imho the current lack of steam from the Stones comes from their laziness...

good points, alimente - also - it's easier for a solo act - no politics and coordination issues involved with rallying the troops, etc...

It hasnt. On the same board where I found it, there's still some knuckleheads who refuse to believe it, even though the article was written by a respected veteran journalist and is published in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.

That's got to be the year's most pompous, self-satisfied sentence. Almost as bad as "She opened a book of poem... written by an Italian poet of the 13th century" and "your loyalty is not to me but to the stars above". Dear, dear. That's what Dylan lost way back in 67 in his motorbike accident: his sense of humour and self mockery. The old croaking prophet should lighten up a bit about his glorious self. That been said, since he has devoted followers...
