An uncommon tweet on Dylan’s main account has actually baffled the whole Bob Dylan fan neighborhood. We have some concerns
Bob Dylan has a Twitter account with over 422,000 fans, however he does not really tweet himself. It’s simply a way for his group to promote upcoming releases and trip dates, with periodic declarations from Dylan himself when somebody like Robbie Robertson passes away. Throughout all of 2024, it’s been utilized a simple 2 times prior to today. The very first was a statement of the 1974 live recordings box set, and the second was a re-tweet from the main Beatles account about a digital re-release of the Concert for Bangladesh.
That’s why the tweet sent by the account Tuesday night at 6:02 p.m. is so complicated. It’s a simple 7 words: “Happy Birthday Mary Jo! See you in Frankfort.” There is no other context. His media agent decreased to comment, so we’re entrusted to numerous concerns. (This author declines to describe Twitter as X. Sorry, Elon.)
Who is Mary Jo?
There are numerous popular Mary Jos, consisting of shooting victim Mary Jo Buttafuoco, Canadian actress/chef Mary Jo Eustace, fighter Mary Jo Sanders, starlet Mary Jo Deschanel, and romantic dream author Mary Jo Putney. There are 55 Mary Jos with sufficient prominence to get their own Wikipedia page. None have any recognized connection to Bob Dylan.
What’s taking place in Frankfort?
Dylan starts a European trip in early October. It consists of 3 programs at Jahrhunderthalle in Frankfurt, Germany. That provides him a lot of time to meet this mystical Mary Jo figure. He didn’t compose “Frankfurt.” He composed “Frankfort.” That’s the capital of Kentucky. (There are smaller sized Frankforts in Alabama, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and lots of other states.)
Is this associated to Dylan’s bourbon?
As a poster on the Expecting Rain online forum explained, Frankfort, Kentucky, is an extremely brief drive from the Heaven’s Door Distillery in Pleasureville, Kentucky. Is this the start of some unusual marketing project for Dylan’s scotch? Are we suckers for succumbing to it?

Was this even deliberate?
There’s no circumstance where Dylan runs his own Twitter account. Did a staffer someplace forget to log off and compose this believing they were on a various account? That would have been taken down in a couple of minutes. This is still up the following afternoon. That recommends it was deliberate.
Is this an easter egg?
If Taylor Swift had actually tweeted this out, it would likely be a riddle leading up to a huge statement of some sort. Dylan’s never ever done anything like that. And would he actually tease his very first correct studio album considering that 2020’s Rough and Rowdy Ways by tweeting out “Happy Birthday Mary Jo! See you in Frankfort”? That’s simply lunacy. Then once again, this is the guy who offered a faux-vintage 2012 trip t-shirt on the roadway this summer season.
