Not only did I walk out, I walked out from the frickin' front row! LOL Like I said, I just couldn't take it, and I figured why should I? I know he's a great songwriter. Unfortunately, he isn't a great singer.

His song writing is spot on, but his performing was never great in my opinion and now it doesn't even hold most peoples interest.

He also doesn't seem to care if he does or not. His band was set up at the very back of the stage . . . as far away from the audience as possible! LOL Mellencamp and his band were right up front at the edge of the stage, and it seemed like Dylan would have set up off-stage if he could have.
Sorry to disappoint, Ferret, but I tried it and just couldn't do it. (The show is on DIME if you want to see if you would have enjoyed it.) I fought horrible traffic to get to the show and knew I'd be back in it if I forced myself to stay. If Mellencamp had been last, wild horses wouldn't have gotten me out early, and I'd have happily blasted his music while I inched along.
