At 82, Bob Dylan Finally Confesses What We Thought All Along

Bob Dylan, born Robert Allan Zimmerman on May 24, 1941, in St. Louis County, Minnesota, is a legendary singer-songwriter known for his poetic lyrics and influence on music for over 60 years.

Dylan’s early career included singing folk songs highly influenced by Woody Guthrie and classic American folk traditions, as well as mixing rock elements, making him a prominent figure in the 1960s counterculture.

He became an icon with political and socially conscious songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are a-Changin’,” which resonated deeply with the civil rights and anti-war movements.

Dylan’s personal life, notably his relationships and marriages, has frequently been veiled in secrecy, ranging from his high school sweetheart to hidden weddings, adding dimensions to his complex personality.

Beyond music, Dylan’s legacy includes painting, literature, and continual touring, with his influence even extending to unexpected collaborations, like Guns N’ Roses’ cover of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.”
