Bob Dylan begins his North American tour this summer with following his spring in European venues.

Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24th, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota. He was raised in Hibbing, Minnesota, where he began writing poems as a child. He taught himself how to play guitar and piano in his early teens and formed a couple of bands. Influenced by the early rock of Elvis Presley, Little Richard and country and folk singers Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie, Dylan was destined to become famous.

Last year, Dylan released “Modern Times,” his first new studio set since 2001’s “Love and Theft.” The disc, which is his 44th album, features 10 new Dylan originals he recorded with his touring band: guitarists Stu Kimball and Denny Freeman, multi-instrumentalist Donnie Herron, bassist Tony Garnier and drummer George Recile. Dylan sang and played keyboards, guitars and harmonica.

Can the New York Rangers slow down the Buffalo Sabres’ speedy offense? They’re going to have to find a way if they want to stand a chance in this series. We are going to see some great hockey in this Eastern Conference second round match up. Given their plethora of talent and relentless pursuit of offense, the Sabres are always a treat to watch. The Rangers have once again become the darlings of Manhattan, advancing to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in a decade. They did so in shocking fashion, disposing of Southeast champion Atlanta in four games, while the Sabres wobbled only slightly in dispatching the eighth-seeded New York Islanders. Both teams boast terrific coaching and unheralded depth (although the Sabres’ lineup has a higher profile after two strong seasons). Example? Fourteen Rangers had at least a point in four games against Atlanta and 16 Sabres found the score sheet against the Islanders. Each team boasts one of the game’s brightest young goaltending talents in the Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist, who hasn’t given up more than three goals in his past eight starts, and Buffalo’s Ryan Miller. This series will see a lot of offensive fireworks, hard hitting and great goaltending. Rangers in seven!

Sanjaya Malakar, the singer who horrified and captivated millions in his improbable “American Idol” run, was finally voted off the show Wednesday night. When the result was announced, Malakar wiped away tears and got a big hug from LaKisha Jones, the next lowest vote-getter. Many had predicted that he would make it all the way to May finale. Among Malakar’s supporters: radio shock jock Howard Stern and the Web site VotefortheWorst.com.

Rumors are swirling that AI producers had something to do with Sanjaya’s departure, but we’ll never know the truth. What we do know is that American Idol Live Tickets will be huge this summer, and will probably sell out in record time!
