Bob Dylan, salty bard and joy of the garden, will spend the summer this year in Spain, where he has decided to inflict twelve concerts on the civilian population, among which will include one the very Sant Joan festival at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, an ideal plan for those couples to whom the children saddle their offspring to the motto of “how can you not go to a festival…”.
The detractors of the Minnesota colossus –not to be confused with Andreu Mas-Colell– will say that things must be going very badly for him to go bowling all June in Spain, today Madrid, tomorrow the arena of Huesca and the other Logroño, like if it were Raúl Gracia El Tato himself on his return to the ring.
What if it turns out that Bob Dylan simply loves Spain in the month of June, with his gazpacho, those seafood paellas and the possibility that Real Madrid’s fifteenth European Cup will catch him singing in the capital?
When I was a child, international artists appeared in Spain in the summer and there was no god that would later extradite them to their country, as was the case with the long-awaited Georgie Dann, who, while celebrating a festival, fed the Minnesota lion soup with a slingshot.
Where is the barbecue!
The first news rules out that Bob Dylan will give lectures at conferences and bakeries, as Nobel Prize winner for Literature, and even less that he will form an artistic couple with Vargas Llosa for this purpose, in the manner of Manolo and Ramón, the Dynamic Duo, who follow on the road singing that of “we are young”.
In short, we are talking about the best-prepared generation of octogenarians in history. They last and last and last.
In the absence of Teruel and Ciutadella being included in the Spanish tour, Manolo Escobar from Minnesota has prohibited the Spanish public from using mobile phones during the show, an unfortunate restriction in terms of the rights and freedoms of citizens.
Is there anything more empathic than spending a concert recording and sending fragments?
This, Georgie Dann would never forbid! And the Minister of Education, less!
