Bob (above) did his best to contain his excitement on meeting at last his long-time fan, Leo Biblitz,
who was hired to keep First Lady Michelle Obama and her upper arms amused at a special White House
concert Feb. 10/10 while the Chief went off to do
presidential things as one must when running a country. Money must be printed and so on.
Bob, in the meantime, sang his injured heart out, a generous performer always,
still writing timeless melodies and lyrics and playing now with the best band he's ever had. It's sometimes hard
to recall his tender love and protest songs with so many barbs almost invariably aimed at women during his otherwise
excellent radio show. Further evidence that getting old is no picnic, if more was required. Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour,
featuring selections from his personal collection of musical favorites, airs on
Sirius/XM Spectrum 18 Sunday 3-5 p.m. (PT) and again Wednesday on
Deep Tracks 16 at 8 a.m. (PT). A forgiving Biblitz listens earnestly especially for the poems that conclude each episode.
Where's Bob on his neverending 2010
tour?
According to
his official website, 'Bob Dylan and his Band will perform throughout the western United States in August and September. The first dates
have been announced and more will be released soon.' No idea yet whether he'll make it to Vancouver, B.C., though he is good pals
with Elvis Costello, a frequent caller on Theme Time who lives with spouse Diana Krall on Vancouver Island. Please check back soon for
updates.

Bob is not authentic at all: He's a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception. We are like night
and day, he and I. From Pop and Hiss, the L.A. Times Music Blog, April 22/10)
Biblitz on Joni Mitchell:
Maybe so, but as a long-time purchaser of both, Joni's CDs, unlike Bob's, after two or three runs decorate the library
shelves.
