"Take care of your memories. You cannot relive them." ~DylanI just read that Twitter passed Google as the first source for late breaking, up-to-the-minute news. That is, when people want to find out what is happening RIGHT NOW, more people went to Twitter the other day than to Google.
Now frankly, I am not sure how they distinguish the motive when people are searching for up-to-the-minute news. I mean, Google has to have more searches happening every minute, but only a percentage of them are for the latest breaking news.
For what it's worth, here are some stories that are unfolding here in my little corner of the world.
13th Annual Battle of the Jugbands
Produced by Icehouse Studio, Coho Handcream for Men and De Elliot Bros., the Battle is this Sunday May 24th. The Battle of the Jugbands is held in Duluth each Memorial Weekend Sunday. In years past, eight to ten regional bands have shown up, celebrating seven hours of old time down-home, string band roots music. It is also a competition as they vy for the Coveted Yid-wegian Krumkake Iron. Unique homemade instruments are shown and played, audience participation encouraged. Check it out at the Amazing Grace Cafe, downstairs in the DeWitt-Seitz Building, Canal Park.

Dylan Days Dylan Days officially begins today in Hibbing, MN, Bob Dylan's hometown. This year is the 50th anniversary of Robert Zimmerman's graduation from high school. Saturday night, Scarlet Rivera, who did the fiddle work on Dylan's wonderful Hurricane, will perform at Hibbing High School Auditorium with an all star band. I believe the second set is scheduled to be a re-creation of the Desire album from whence it came. For more information visit the website http://www.dylandays.com/
As they say, "Be there, or be square."
