It's all finished... The text turns out to be 750,000 words. The whole manuscript, with photos and captions and index and everything, went to the printers on Friday. We should be on track for our publication date of JUNE 15.

Meanwhile, I have a couple of dates for talks in the US now, later in the summer:

AUG 30: CLEVELAND: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: (details to come); aptly, the subject will be "Bob Dylan & the History of Rock & Roll".

SEP 05: NEW YORK CITY: The New School: (details to come); subject will be "Bob Dylan & the Poetry of the Blues".

More dates to be added soon.
