T-Bone Burnett's first tour was as a guitarist in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, a mid-70's assemblage of musicians that did two tours featuring a number of artists with careers of their own, including Roger Mcguinn, Joan Baez, and Mick Ronson.  Burnett is reviving that concept for at least a couple of dates, and has gotten some high caliber artists to sign-on.  The Speaking Clock Revue features John Mellencamp, Elton John, Gregg Allman, Leon Russell, Elvis Costello, Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, actor Jeff Bridges and others.  Proceeds from concerts October 16 at the Wang Center in LA and October 20 at the Beacon Theatre in New York will go to the Participation Foundation, an organization that provides support for music and arts education in public schools.
