Note: Dylan news items on electronic periodical sites may have limited life spans!
Dejanews, the free usenet newsreader and archive, has been acquired by Google. You can still read usenet for free from your browser at www.deja.com, but the postings aren't sortable by date. Previously, the usenet group rec.music.dylan was the main source of news items and tips for this archive. Since I can't read the the January 2001 posts to rec.music.dylan in chronological order, I've collected January's news items from the Dylan site Expecting Rain, which is updated daily. Feel free to e-mail me any Dylan news items you discover, and I will try to find them and scan them in for everyone to enjoy!
