Dylan has been invited to perform his song "The Faces of Victory" with Styx's Chuck Panozzo and a host of other gay Chicago rockers at Wrigley Field. Dylan wrote the song 2 years ago as a sort of "We Are the Champions" rock anthem when he was inspired by the Gay Games. Visit www.gaygameschicago.org for more info.
