Dylan Exhibit


Today the new Bob Dylan exhibit at the Weisman Art Museum opens. Bob Dylan's American Journey: 1956-1966 will run through April 29 and will document the time from Dylan's youth in Hibbing, MN to his emergence in the Greenich folk scene. Coinciding with the exhibit are numerous events around Minneapolis. The Weisman will be doing everthing from screening documentaries on the folk trubador to hosting songwriting classes for all levels of musicians. Check out the the schedule for more info on the exhibit!

And yes, even the Focus will be caught up in the Dylan Fever. This week we will focus on the recording of Dylan's Blood On the Tracks album and its Minneapolis connection. Also up for discussion will be Minnesota's facination with Bob Dylan and the psychology behind it.
