Biography

Duluth, Minnesota, United States (1959 – present)

Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American musician, and artist whose position in popular culture is unique.

Dylan started his musical odyssey in 1959 and much of his best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are a-Changin’”, became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His song “Like a Rolling Stone”, released in July of 1965, was named “The Greatest Song of All Time” by Rolling Stone magazine in 2004, placing #1 in a list of 500 titles. Dylan remains an influential and popular artist; his most recent album of new songs, 2009’s Together Through Life, reached #1 on the charts in the US, Britain, France and several other countries.

Bob Dylan’s strong influence over the past few years is becoming even more prominent amongst a growing group of younger emerging artists such as George Ellias, and Devendra Banhart.

Dylan’s early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture of the time. While expanding and personalizing musical styles, Dylan has shown steadfast devotion to traditions of American song, from and / to and , to Gaelic balladry, even , and .

    Thirty-five years of Street-Legal! A shame I've only been a listener for one of them. But that one has been a blessing; knowing this album makes living better.

    If he does a straight-up acoustic record once more, that'll complete it for me. :)

    I really like this about Street-Legal: "No man can fight another like the man who fights himself. Who could be a stronger enemy? It's true that a man is his own worst enemy, just as he is his own best friend. If you deal with the enemy within, then no enemy without can stand a chance." - Bobby D

    Saved is such a wonderful record. I've been listening to it once a day this past week... but I'm beginning to feel that's not enough!

    On my MP3 player I have the remastered Street-Legal and on my hard drive a huge vinyl rip of the original release of Street-Legal... and I can't help it, the remastered one is just about fifty times better. I totally understand the fact that so many people dismissed this album back in the day just because of how it sounded... oh but did it have major potential... had Dylan recorded it in better conditions in the first place it would have been his masterpiece.

    I think it's the same Massey hall concert that's been released as the Gospeller bootleg, which I've heard... I like watching the guy as much as hearing him, so always nice to find concert/other footage...

    It's a marvelous document, that. And it catches Ain't Gonna Go to Hell for Anybody and Cover Down, Pray Through! It might have I Will Love Him, too, if I remember correctly. The most sublime moment, though... well, I won't spoil it Ralf, you'll know which I mean.
