Bob Dylan continues to reinvent himself, as was evident at his show last Friday at George Mason University’s Patriot Center. Not content to play the same song the same way twice, Dylan and his talented band threw in twists and turns the entire time. Dylan, camped out behind a keyboard that was set on “Wurlitzer,” …
