At 66, Dylan – a ’60s and ’70s folk icon and writer of classic such as ‘Blowin’ in the Wind,’ ‘Hurricane’ and ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ – continues to chug along, recording and touring.

His latest record, last year’s ‘Modern Times,’ was voted the best album of 2006 by Rolling Stone magazine. ‘Theme Time Radio Hour,’ his XM radio show, is a hit. And since 1988, his consistent yearly concert schedule has been dubbed the ‘Never-Ending Tour.’

Costello is a bit different.

The former Angry Young Man of the punk and new wave scene in the late ’70s rose to fame on the back of hits such as ‘Alison’ and ‘Pump it Up,’ Costello has forayed into jazz and orchestral compositions in his middle age. This is his first solo tour in more than a decade.
