What does Durham have in common with Pawtucket, R.I.; Dayton; and Round Rock, Tx.?
All are home to minor league baseball teams. And what's more: the parks those teams play in will all see something other than baseballs blowing in the wind this summer.
Bob Dylan's taking a third pass at a tour of minor league ballparks, this time bringing along Willie Nelson and John Cougar Mellencamp for the ride. (Nelson played the neighboring DPAC earlier this year, and we trust his memory of the town won't be so, er, hazy as to impair his finding his way next door to the ballpark.)
It'll set you back $67.50 to get a ticket to the Tuesday, July 28 show. Hat tip to Grayson Currin at the Indy Weekly for the breaking news on this one.
Between this, Aerosmith and Steely Dan I may fall over. Boo yeah!

John A: The kids say "Boo Yah!" But, I guess anyone that gets excited over these old ass former rockers wouldn't know that.

Well MoveInto, when the Wiggles come through on their reunion tour or Hannah Montanna rocks DPAC -- then you can come on here and say Boo Yah all you want! It's so good to see all you young hipster mavericks exercising your opinions on such important things. Speaks so well of the younger generation, dontcha know?

John Mellencamp dropped the "Cougar" portion of his name years ago.

Ummm... it was a joke. My daughters wouldn't be caught dead using the expression (psst! It's old).
"Boo Yah! Paramore's coming to Walnut Creek!"
(You are now officially left alone)
PS: "Boo Yeah" is the new "Fetch")

"Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen... it's just not going to happen!"
