A Medal for Dylan From the White House
Compiled by DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: February 26, 2010

The White House continues to pay tribute to Bob Dylan, right, in every way it knows how — whether or not Mr. Dylan is there to receive the honor. On Thursday, two weeks after he appeared in the East Room as part of a concert to commemorate Black History Month, Mr. Dylan was named one of 12 recipients of the National Medal of Arts, only this time he was not in attendance. Other winners who were announced in an afternoon ceremony and awarded their medals by President Obama and his wife, Michelle, included the designer Milton Glaser, the artist and architect Maya Lin, the singer and actor Rita Moreno, the soprano Jessye Norman, the artist Frank Stella, the conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, the composer and conductor John Williams, and Joseph P. Riley Jr., the mayor of Charleston, S.C. The actor and director Clint Eastwood was also named a medalist but not present at the ceremony (though we’re sure the distinction made his day). The Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the School of American Ballet were awarded medals as well. The annual award is managed by the National Endowment for the Arts.

from Desolation Row:-

Bob will appear at the festival in Limerick on July 4th, the day after the Hop Farm Festival in Kent. I’ve known about this for a while but have been unable to say anything about this openly. Some of you from Ireland who registered interest in the Kent festival have received cryptic messages from me telling them not to make any firm plans as something was afoot – that’s the most I dared do. It’s now out in the open. See the following press article>

THE LIMERICK Leader can exclusively reveal that the legendary Bob Dylan is to play in Thomond Park this July 4. It will be the only date that Dylan will play in Ireland this summer and tickets are to go on sale this coming Monday. Speaking exclusively to the Limerick Leader this Wednesday afternoon, promoter Peter Aiken said securing Dylan's services for a large outdoor summer show was "massive", but said the concert was going to be "all about the music". "It is going to be big, but it is going to be about the music - people will come from all over to see him," said Peter. The promoter also confirmed that up to four other acts are going to share the bill with Dylan, with doors opening on the day at 2pm. "We are going to have another four acts on the same day, it will be a really good day of good music - three of the acts will be very well-known, household names and people should be very impressed with what we are going to do," said Mr Aiken.

So,

July 4th, Thomond Park Stadium, Limerick City, Eire.
Tickets on sale to general public from Monday 15/03/10, 09:00 at €60,00 - €81,25.
There will be a presale, whatever that means or however it is achieved, starting Thursday 11/03/10 at 10:00  and ending Monday 15/03/10 at 08:00.

There has been a lot of interest in the Hop Farm festival, mainly for day tickets (understandably). Now you know what’s happening the day after, that might help firm up your decision; I am now trying to find out what’s happening the day or two before as well, plus what time Bob is expected to be on stage at Hop Farm. Once I have full details, I’ll let you all know.
