DURAN ▼ FORT LAUDERDALE STILL ROWDY Legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan makes his way to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts for a two-night stint that picks up his Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour following a winter break.

He was even awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016 — the first time the prize was awarded to a musician rather than a bonafide author. Now nearing his 83rd birthday, he’s showcas- ing his 39th studio album, 2020’s universally acclaimed Rough and Rowdy Ways. 8 p.m. Fri- day and Saturday, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 SW Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954-462-0222; browardcenter.org.
