MANKATO, Minn. – Bob Dylan came home again Friday night for his first performance in Minnesota in six years. Of course, he’s aware that it’s his home state, even if he didn’t say anything to acknowledge that at the sold-out Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center.
We assume he likes Minnesota, even if he’s played in, ahem, Wisconsin four times since his last Gopher State appearance, which was at this same Mankato hockey arena in 2019.
The Duluth-born, Hibbing-reared Dylan has an affinity for the Midwest. Remember his song “Girl from the North Country” that became the inspiration and title of a 2020 Broadway musical featuring his tunes?…
