Are They Still Playing Music?

I just found out that the old rock and roll band Led Zeppelin will be performing in a town near us. Only one of the members is an original but that is still cool!

I wonder how many of the old timers are still out there playing their music.

There is a new film out called, I'm Not There. It is about the many phases of Bob Dylan's life. I can't wait to see it. He is an amazing performer. He is also very protective of his privacy. As stated in an article on CNN online, "Dylan liked the concept and gave co-writer-director Todd Haynes the rarest of gifts: the rights to use his music in the film, both in his own versions and many covers." Haynes began reading Dylan's biographies and discovered the many changes Dylan experienced throughout his life. These changes had deep intellectual, cultural, almost physical effects on Dylan's audience," Haynes said. I think that Dylan had so much influence on society. It will be fun to see how these changes are portrayed in the movie. I hope they did a good job. I don't want Bob Dylan to have any regrets.
