Did legendary Minnesotan Bob Dylan convince his son not to be associated with the Republican convention? From Politico:

"This much is known: The Minnesota Agri-Growth Council was negotiating with Jakob Dylan and his band, the Wallflowers, to perform for 5,000 invited guests at a nonpartisan industry bash called AgNite on Sept. 2, the second night of the Republican convention.

"Representatives had agreed on a performance fee, although no contracts had been signed, said Daryn McBeth, executive director of the agribusiness trade group. Then, the deal fell through.

"'The lead singer of the band, his dad is Bob Dylan, and I'm told he (Bob) weighed in and encouraged them not to do it because of the political nature of what's going on in town that week,' McBeth said."
