It’s the first time they have shared a concert bill. Each man will play a 75-minute set, and for most of the tour’s 32 dates, they also plan a few duets. The tour starts June 6 in Colorado Springs, Colo., and ends at Jones Beach on New York’s Long Island on July 31. Dylan, who is almost constantly on the road and last year performed several dates with Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell, told USA Today he is excited about teaming up with Si mon. “He’s written extraordinary songs, hasn’t he?” Dylan said. “I consider him one of the pre-emi nent songwriters of the times. Every song he does has a vitality you don’t find everywhere.” Simon has not toured since 1992, spending much of time in re cent years on the Broadway flop “The Capeman.” “I like Bob; I like his music,” Si mon said. “I’ve known him for a long time, and it’s a nice chance to play. I like the idea of where we came from and what we evolved into. We came out of the same ear ly rock ’n’ roll context and took sim ilar routes, although mine’s more urban.” Holliday comments on past role as Flo The Royal celebrates Eg TROY, Ala. (AP) — It’s been years since anyone was told to kiss Flo’s grits. Polly Holliday, who played the tart- tongued waitress on the 1980s sit com “Alice,” said she has not uttered her trademark phrase since the show went off the air. “People ask me to say it, but the way I get out of it is by suggesting that they should say it to me," she said. “They can probably say it pret ty well themselves.' She received a 1990 Tony nomi nation for her performance as Big Mama in Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," but remains “Flo' to many people.

All these instruments were common during the Renaissance. “There is a lot of Shakespearean music,” Harner said. “There a large number of volumes. There are even rock songs out. They set Shake speare passages to music. Duke Ellington did a wonderful production of Shakespeare music, “ Jennifer Heath, president of the Literary Arts Committee and a senior English major, said on Thursday there will be a Shakespeare reading in 601 Rudder. “We’re inviting everybody out to share their favorite Shakespeare stories by reading their fa vorite parts of plays and sonnets," Heath said. “It’s more of an informal discussion where stu dents share their personal interest in Shake speare.” The main event of this year’s Shakespeare Festival is taking place Friday evening at 5 p.m. in 111 Koldus. Ian Donaldson, one of the fore most scholars of English Renaissance dramas in the world and a professor at Cambridge in England, will be speaking about the rivalry be tween Ben Johnson and Shakespeare. On Sunday, the festival ends with sonnet readings at Barnes and Noble Booksellers from 2 to 3 p.m. The sonnet contest winners will also be announced. Door prizes will be given out at all the festival events. These include Shake speare related gifts donated by Norton Pub lishers and range from books toC! shirts.
