I am told that the show will be Quad only.  (Good research on Dylan,
BTW :-).

Well, it obviously _will_ be (the highlight) for us (and most others,
too, I'd bet).  I hear that the reason for the performance order is
that the promoter wanted Eric last to calm the audience down (LOL
:-D).  As listers probably know, there's a huge football game the next
day and they thought it would be more prudent to send people home with
a headfull of slowhand blues rather than a LOUD, AGGRESSIVE
performance of Quad. :-).  I think this is pretty humorous, myself.

Um...I'll bite...so, what _is_ the correlation?  People with more
years of education tend to be more [[US only: Republican, Democrat],
conservative, liberal, ...]?  I could give arguments for either/any of
the above.
