Wikipedia always impresses, and is well worthy of your donation. Bobserve links to its pages for musicians and venues, and only rarely are entries not found for these.
I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

Bobtalk for all Bob Dylan Outlaw shows has been updated by Luke Poling!
He didn't say much but anything he did say was taken down by Luke and used in evidence at bobserve.com
To quote the great Bob Dylan from the Outlaw tour: "Thank you"
