Bob Dylan’s entire catalog of songs, one of the great treasures in music history, has been acquired by Universal Music Publishing Group for an undisclosed sum.

The catalog includes such modern standards as “Blowin’ In The Wind,” “The Times They Are a-Changin’,” “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door,” and “Like a Rolling Stone,” a body of work that may only be matched by the Beatles, whose songs were re-acquired by Paul McCartney in 2017 after changing hands several times, for its breadth and influence.

The New York Times, which first reported the deal, said it was struck directly with Dylan.

Dylan topped the Rolling Stone list of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time in 2015 and the song “Like A Rolling Stone” was named by the magazine as the best ever written.

A bill passed by Congress and headed to President Donald Trump’s desk will return nearly 12,000 acres of land in the Chippewa National Forest to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe.

The government illegally seized the land from the tribe more than 70 years ago.

U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum sponsored the legislation in the House.

“It’s an acknowledgment that what the federal government did to the Leech Lake Band was wrong. This is a wrong, and this is an opportunity to right that wrong,” she said.

The band’s original reservation covered nearly 600,000 acres in northern Minnesota, but federal policies passed in the late 1800s and early 1900s took about 530,000 acres out of trust status without the consent of the tribe, the Star Tribune reported.

When COVID-19 hit, almost everything shut down.

However, like any good story, there are those who defy the odds. Vitality Roasting, a St. Paul based small-batch roaster, was able to open its doors as many other local spots had to close theirs.

With two young, passionate women at the head, Vitality was able to find success during the pandemic.
