If you're going to be within traveling distance of The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, OK tomorrow, Saturday November 9, you're strongly encouraged to check out the special Veterans Day programming that's happening there. Our friends Doug Bradley and Craig Werner, co-authors of We Gotta Get Out of This Place: The Soundtrack of the Vietnam War (named Rolling Stone's Best Music Book of 2015,) will present "Wisdom From the Watchtower: An Afternoon of Music and Stories for Veterans Day." (Bradley also has contributed essays to Letters To You.)
For this afternoon program that honors all veterans and gives voice to their pasts and legacies, Bradley and Werner will provide a brief overview of how music functioned during and after the Vietnam War; share songs by Bob Dylan, Bill Withers, Jimi Hendrix, and other era-defining musicians; relate firsthand accounts from a chorus of veterans; and engage the audience in a Q&A session, all in a nonjudgmental environment of sharing, listening and understanding.
Free admission to the event is included with admission to the Center this Saturday, and admission to the Center tomorrow is also free for all military veterans and active military personnel. Here, too, are tomorrow's admission rates for all other visitors:
Adults: $15
Adults Dual Tickets*: $22
Seniors (55+) and students (18+ with ID): $12
Youth (17 and under) and K-12 teachers: Free
Limited-capacity general admission seating will be available for "Wisdom From the Watchtower: An Afternoon of Music and Stories for Veterans Day" on a first-come, first-served basis. Click here for more information.
