Bob Dylan, 84, Turns Heads During Recent Concert Duet: 'Always Creating Musical Tension'
If there's one thing you can count on, it's that musical legend Bob Dylan is going to go his own way.
The star has made a career out of "confounding expectations," as he famously said in his MusiCares acceptance speech. For 60 years, the singer-songwriter has been constantly reinventing and changing himself to throw people off. He's never going to do the thing you expect. This has been true in every aspect of his career, whether that's his look, his persona, or the way he performs his songs.
A recent performance of Dylan's has caused some conversation, specifically around his aging voice and the way he performs in his current state. A clip from his Outlaw Festival performance of "All Along the Watchtower" with Billy Strings seems to have stirred some opinions.
Fans left their thoughts on the performance, as well as the text overlay from the video in the comments.
"If you don't get Dylan, you're deficient in some way."
"Dylan is an acquired taste."
"Dylan creating musical tension as always. 🔥✌️"
It appears that Dylan has done what he's always done: Create discourse, make people think, and always march to the beat of his own drum.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

Chasing the checkered flag: The allure of Indy Car racing
It's billed as the fastest racing on earth. Indy Cars, as they're called, can hit 240 miles an hour on an oval track – that's more than a football field every second. And a second is about all it takes to end someone's day. In this sport, not all the big names are drivers. David Letterman has co-owned an Indy Car team since 1996, and in that time, Rahal-Letterman-Lanigan Racing has won the Indy 500 twice. David Letterman prior to the 106th Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 29, asked Letterman himself what made Indy Car racing so appealing. "When I was a kid, my family (and every family on our block) would have it on the radio. And it would be Memorial Day, and Dad would be home from work, and we'd be having a cookout. And I can remember listening to the broadcast sitting in a tree. So, that was my first memory of it. It wasn't an option; it was mandatory. It was part of the culture of living in Indianapolis." I asked, "And now that you're a co-owner, which you've been for almost three decades now –" "Isn't that crazy?" he laughed. "What's your role on race day?" "On race day? Listen to the race, sitting in a tree," Letterman replied. "That's what they want me to do." Josef Newgarden (2) driving for Team Penske during the 108th Indianapolis 500, May 26, 2024, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. Michael Allio/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images There are now 17 race days every year, at tracks from coast to coast, and the sport is promoting a new crop of heroes, like Team Penske driver Josef Newgarden. He's won the Indy 500 (still considered the granddaddy of the Indy series) back-to-back, in 2023 and 2024. By tradition, the winning driver celebrates with a big swig of milk, and in 2024, Newgarden's wife and son joined him in another Indy tradition: kissing the speedway track. We caught up with Newgarden a few weeks ago before the Long Beach Grand Prix. I asked him, "Do you have a mantra that you say? Anything you tell yourself?" "I don't know that I have a specific mantra, but I try not to be superstitious," he replied. "I just try to be positive more than anything. If that's my mantra, it's positivity." Team McLaren driver Pato O'Ward has just about everything a race car driver needs; the only thing he's missing is an Indy 500 win. He's come agonizingly close, and in 2024 O'Ward just about had it won, but Newgarden passed him in the final lap. "I know I'm going to get my Indy 500 win, because I've been damn good there every single year," O'Ward said. "So, I know the more I put myself in that position, I'm going to get at least one." What is it like to win one of these races? According to Letterman, "It's a jolt of adrenaline I have never experienced in my life. There was a crush of people around me. And suddenly I'm not just Dumbbell Dave, the talk show host. I'm the owner of the Indianapolis 500 winner. And that euphoria stays with you, well, you may be able to tell, I still have a touch of that in me." For more than a century, speed demons have been chasing Indy Car trophies. The first Indianapolis 500 dates back to 1911, and it quickly became one of the premier sporting spectacles of the year, drawing huge crowds attracted by the sound and the speed. In 1926, racers sped better than 90 miles an hour! In the last century, Indy Car racing has changed: it's much faster, and recently more popular. The Indy Car brand withered for a few years under an internal re-organization, but now the crowds are coming back. This year's Indy 500 grandstand was sold out for the first time in nearly a decade, and the place is starting to look like it did back in 1969, when Mario Andretti took the checkered flag. Asked how sweet that milk tastes, Andretti said, "Honey cannot compare!" At 85, Andretti's still in the game as a team owner. "I think the ability of the drivers that you have in place [today], the talent is unprecedented," he said. "It's unbelievable, yeah." I asked, "Are you saying those guys are more talented than you were?" Well, he didn't go that far. Race car safety has come a long way since Andretti's day; the track walls are now padded, the drivers are more protected. But while it's safer, it not safe, and the worst can still happen, says AP motorsports reporter Jenna Fryer. "It'll never be safe; you can never call racing safe," she said. "They can be idiots. And if they get upset with each other and one wants to retaliate against the other, you know, people do stupid stuff. They see red, they kind of forget what they're doing for a second. There's no way to ever say, 'Racing is safe.'" But for drivers, it really is just part of the game. Asked if he ever thinks of the danger while driving, O'Ward replied, "No. You think of winning. You think of winning when you're in that car. At least I do. That's all I think of." This year's Indy 500 winner wasn't O'Ward or Newgarden, or anyone from Letterman's team. It was Spanish driver Alex Palou. But there are nine more races this season, and on an oval track, you never know what's around the bend. Letterman said, "What I love about it is the romance of it. And the sound is unlike anything you've ever heard. The sound is something humans were not meant to hear." I asked, "What does that sound do to you?" "This is a good measure for my heart; if it doesn't accelerate my heart beyond what human's hearts should be accelerated, then there's something wrong," he said. When asked what he would say to someone who has never seen an Indy Car race, Letterman said, "Oh, for God sakes, it doesn't even pertain to motor sports fans, just go. I mean, one day. It's unimaginable. And you may not go back, but you'll talk about it the rest of your life." WEB EXCLUSIVE: Extended interview with David Letterman For more info: Story produced by John D'Amelio.

Former Clinton aide Huma Abedin, Alex Soros marry in swank Hamptons wedding packed with Dem heavyweights
Former top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and Alex Soros, son of billionaire left-wing donor George Soros, married in a lavish wedding in New York on Saturday that reportedly drew attendance from high-profile Democrats stretching from former Vice President Kamala Harris to former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The couple married in Water Mill, N.Y., at a Soros family estate on Saturday, according to the New York Times, which reported the swank Hamptons wedding drew private jets, fleets of black SUVs "and Clinton aides galore in a rare concentration of wealth and power." Democrat heavyweights including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Harris – as well as her husband Doug Emhoff – and Pelosi attended the wedding, the New York Times reported. Other celebrities and high-profile attendees included Vogue's Anna Wintour, socialite Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, the outlet reported, citing attendees. "I'm looking forward to being a witness to their marriage; to the celebration that we all are going to be part of; to seeing so many longtime friends gathered in one place to really enjoy being part of Huma and Alex's start of their married life. And I think we all could use some fun, so I'm looking forward to all of it," Hillary Clinton told Vogue of the wedding in an article published Saturday. Soros, 39, is the chairman of the Open Society Foundations, which is a massive $25 billion nonprofit founded by George Soros, 94, and helps bankroll left-wing causes and politicians across the country. Abedin, 48, is the former longtime aide to Hillary Clinton and often called the former secretary of state's "second daughter." Abedin was previously married to disgraced former New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner. The wedding included a live performance from Boyz II Men, the vocal harmony group behind hits such as 1991's "Motownphilly," according to the Times, as well as toasts from Hillary Clinton, Wintour, and the Albanian prime minister. Abedin wore two custom wedding dresses over the course of the day, Vogue reported. The wedding's menu reportedly included cuts of Wagyu beef, grilled prawns and chilled English pea soup. Soros popped the question to Abedin in July of last year, sharing the announcement on his Instagram page at the time. "This happened…we couldn't be happier, more grateful, or more in love," Soros wrote in an Instagram post, accompanied by a photo of him on one knee. Abedin told Vogue of her engagement: "I was shocked, not by the fact that he proposed, but it was the timing that made no sense. It was a very hectic, very chaotic day, and I was leaving for a trip the next day. I went to get my hair colored in the morning [and] I dropped something on my foot, so I was wearing sneakers." Fox News Digital reached out to the Open Society Foundations on Sunday morning inquiring if representatives for the couple had any additional comment to include on the wedding, but did not immediately receive a reply.
