Bob Dylan

He was born on Hope Road, Kingston, Jamaica

It was the cover of the Bob Dylan song by Peter, Paul, and Mary that really put "Blowin' in the Wind" up on the charts. That was in 1963. It was considered a protest song. Surf the link to the Wikipedia article on this tune, which is number 14 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

One rumor was that the Beatles wanted to record an album with Motown's hit songwriting and producing team, Holland-Dozier-Holland around 1965-1966. The other rumor was the Beatles wanted to record an album at Hitsville (Motown's recording studio) in Detroit with the Funk Brothers (Motown's in-house band).

As for actually recording at Motown, the answer is no.

Dylan did not serve because when the war began, he was not old enough to serve. And by the time he WAS old enough to serve, he had already began his musical career, which was fate, as he said in a recent interview.

Yes. He has ayounger sister named julia obrien.

Bob Dylan transformed society by using his music as a powerful tool for social change, particularly during the civil rights movement and anti-war protests of the 1960s. His poignant lyrics challenged the status quo, addressing issues such as injustice, inequality, and the human experience, which inspired a generation to voice their dissent and seek reform. Dylan's influence extends beyond music; he reshaped cultural conversations around identity, freedom, and activism, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to resonate in contemporary social movements. Today, his work serves as a reminder of the potential art has to inspire change and provoke thought.

His birth name was Robert Allen Zimmerman. Whether or not he retains the middle birth name today is not known. He decided to call himself Bob Dylan in his Dinkytown days explaining that he lived in a free country and could name himself whatever he wanted.

Dylan's contribution to rock history is one of talent, lots of talent. His talent is literary. Dylan began writing after he found that he could not make it singing Woody Guthrie songs. He arrived at NYC at just the right time. He had definite mentors: Pete Seeger is given a lot of credit but I think Rambling Jack Elliot gave him more. He copied Elliot's tics and singing style, a style Elliot stole from Guthrie.

Dylan did not know what potential he had until he was forced to either write or become just another hippie with a guitar. Growing up in the 50s, he must have known about Kerouac; later he was to be influenced by Ginsberg. Dylan entered the folk scene as a way of making it. (He has acknowledged the influence of the Irish folk group The Clancy Brothers.) He was was not interested so much in folk as he was in finding a path to rock. Bringing it all back home, Dylan's album says it all. Rock started in America, went to England, with the Beatles, and Dylan brought it back home. "Another side of Dylan" says it all.

To understand Dylan you need to see all his sides, he's not just one person. To grow he needed to leave his folks/folkies behind and enter into Rock. He did it in a big way. he forced the NEWport folk festival audience to boo him (by turning the music so loud that there was an uproar). Dylan wanted to be booed. "You must leave now, take what you think will last / Leave the dead behind, they will not follow you."

To understand Dylan is not to understand a personality. Dylan the person is not Dylan the song writer. What he himself thinks and feels is separate from what his songs say. When asked, he says that the songs just came to him. It is a good question to ask if Dylan constructs his songs like a carpenter or if he lets the muses speak through him. The answer is difficult, as "poets tell many a lie." Who is Bob Dylan? Perhaps a very politically conservative intelligent business man who sells himself.

There were no hippies in the 50s; they came in the 70s. He sang "It's all over now" at Forest Hills and Newport as an encore. He would open acoustically and at the half turn the amps up, then come out with a guitar and sing "Baby Blue" telling the Folk people to take what they think will keep them happy for a while but he was moving on.

Dylan is a significant personality in the history of music because he was constantly reinventing himself as the fan base he originally sang for would change and he was always one step ahead of them. Look at a lot of Dylan outdoor concerts - the fan base has gray hair to no hair from retirees to high school and younger. Parents and grandparents take their heirs and say to them, "Listen to the words he says; you'll never see his kind again." Much as parents took children to see Joe di Maggio and Babe Ruth, for their kind come this way but once.

Dylan was never married to Joan Baez. He was romantically involved with her, albeit he was originally interested in her sister, Mimi. His only wife was Sara Lownds (Sara Dylan).
