This promotor that you're, uh, IN with ... Does he/she know that Dylan will
continue to tour Europe until the end of July and will have absolutely,
positively NOTHING to do with the MSG shows?

Now me, I've spent 7 years establishing relationships with slimy sub-human
ticket "brokers" who gouge money out of fans to line their own slimey
pockets.  My relationship is this: They say "who needs tickets" and I say
"choke on 'em, scalper scum".  For 7 years I've been doing this just WAITING
for this moment.
