Dylan says Rojo is the way to go

When I’m not listening to my latest obsession or my favorite podcasts on my iPod, I’m still an FM and AM radio listener. So I totally missed it when Bob Dylan (yes, that Bob Dylan!) mentioned one of Birmingham’s own hot spots on his XM radio program.

On Dec. 29, Dylan played NRBQ’s song “12 Bar Blues” and followed it by saying, “They told you about 12 bars—here’s four more that I like. If you’re down in Birmingham, Alabama, stop by the Rojo. That’s Spanish for red.”
