Dylan, Mellencamp Rock Missoula

On Tuesday night, as the setting sun shimmered meekly through a blanket of gray clouds that lay over the Missoula Valley, Stephen Hoffman of Coeur d'Alene stood halfway between second and third base at Ogren-Allegiance Park, tilting toward center field as he listened intently to John Mellencamp singing a solo acoustic version of "Save Some Time to Dream," off his brand new album, "No Better Than This." "Yeah," breathed Hoffman at the song's end. "That was awesome. Wow. Good song." Such was the scene at Tuesday night's double-bill Mellencamp/Dylan concert, the largest in Missoula since the Rolling Stones rocked Washington-Grizzly/Joe Nickell, Missoulian. More here.

  • Tonight: Dylan & Mellencamp will be at the Greyhound Park in Post Falls.

Question: What do you say to someone who thinks Bob Dylan has a lousy singing voice?
