*** NEW - THE DYLAN DAILY - NEW SISTER SITE ***
Just click on: www.dylandaily.com to check it out.

Music for Grown-Ups is fond of Bob Dylan's music - rather too fond,
according to some non-Bobfan correspondents! Because we always have loads of Dylan copy, but feel reluctant to burden Music for Grown-Ups readers who don't share our passion for Bob's art, we've launched a new dedicated sister blog site, The Dylan Daily (www.dylandaily.com).
