Bob Dylan is not the most communicative of personalities. Except maybe through his songs, but those always keep fans guessing. In the past few weeks, however, he has been posting tweets on X that are equally down to earth and enigmatic. And his comments keep fans guessing.
Bob Dylan keeps fans guessing with his recent tweets
After only one post all year, he shouts out to Bob Newhart, a New Orleans restaurant and hockey’s Buffalo Sabres.
After tweeting only once in 2024 (to promote a new boxed set in July), Dylan has tweeted four times in the past few weeks to his 439,000 followers.
On Sept. 25, he offered:
He isn’t scheduled to visit Frankfort, Ky., this fall but he is performing in Frankfurt, Germany, Oct. 16-18. Who is Mary Jo? Maybe she’ll be there. Maybe it’s a code name. Best wishes to her.
On Sept. 30, he posted:
That Dylan is a mensch. He often acknowledges the passing of people whose work touched him. But I guess he didn’t monitor the news when he was on tour this summer with Willie Nelson. The great comedian passed away on July 18.
On Oct. 1, he opined:
Love the rec and even mentioning the location. The establishment has been around since 1941, the same year Dylan was born. Don’t know if he dined at Dooky’s when he was in the Crescent City on April 1, 2024, at the Saenger Theatre. We know he did deliver Hank Williams’ regional-specific “On the Banks of the Old Pontchartrain” in concert.
Oct. 9, he shared:
The NHL teams faced off last Friday and Saturday in Prague. Dylan performed in Prague on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He waited until Tuesday to post the tweet. Not surprised that the Minnesota bard knows about pro hockey, but which Buffalo player knows about Dylan? He didn’t mention names, but we’re guessing maybe either Jason Zucker or Jordan Greenway, both of whom spent time in Minnesota with the Wild.
Can’t wait to see what Dylan might tweet, if anything, when his European tour lands in Liverpool and at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Highlights for Nov. 21-27 include Eric Benét, Joe Bonamassa, Tommy Stinson, Cory Wong, Allie X, Ike Reilly and Laamar.
