Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, painter, poet and, more recently, disc jockey, who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when he was, at first, an informal chronicler and then an apparently reluctant figurehead of social unrest. A number of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'," became anthems for both the civil rights and the anti-war movements. If Bob Dylan is the very definition of a music legend, you have to give his fans credit for being pretty legendary themselves.
From the very beginning, Dylan fans have been a breed apart. They scrutinize his lyrics line by line, dig through his garbage to find them, and sign up for fully accredited college courses to understand them. On the Internet, the discussion -- and dissection -- of Dylan is no less intense, as his devotees pour over every nuance of his life and music on sites like Expecting Rain.
He has shaped as many impudent flops (Self Portrait, Knocked Out Loaded, and a large amount of his work in the Eighties and Nineties spring instantly to mind) as he has masterpieces like Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde On Blonde, and Blood On The Tracks. He's written American classics like "Blowin' In The Wind," "Like A Rolling Stone," and "Just Like A Woman," as well as median fair like "Man Gave Names To All The Animals."
But the one thing Dylan has always done is reinvent himself. The voice of protest for a generation in the Sixties and the born again believer of the Seventies, most recently Dylan has once again stunned the world with a brilliant string of albums including Time Out Of Mind, Love & Theft, and Modern Times.
He has received numerous awards over the years together with Grammy, Golden Globe and Academy Awards; he has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2008 a Bob Dylan Pathway was opened in the singer's honor in his origin of Duluth, Minnesota. The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation for what they called his profound influence on popular composition and American culture, "marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.
Exceeding all else, Dylan is arguably America's supreme songwriter and a national treasure. - 18418
