One of my favorite songwriter's birthday is today. Born in 1941!!

Happy birthday Bob! One of my favorite musicians! ...minus that Christmas album....

Yes, not his best work for sure. Love the earlier ones!!

I was wondering if some of our younger forum members knew who he was!!

That old geezer
I can't believe how old my generation is getting..the ones who are still alive that is....can you imagine a 60 something Jimi Hendrix...or Jim Morrison...that doesn't seem right.

I know!! I don't recognize the man in the mirror!!

A little trivia...he wrote "It Ain't Me Babe" with Joan Baez in mind after she'd been smitten with him.

"It ain't me you're lookin' for babe..."


That song went on to be a bigger hit for 'The Turtles".

I wasn't sure who Robert Zimmerman was, but I know who Bob Dylan is! Happy Birthday Bob!

Boy, is there! Now being 16, I've been much more than a true Dylan fan for a considerable time, and the level of my admiration of him increases every day. It started when my five year old brother introduced me to his music about four years ago. Of obvious reasons, I was not to fully understand much of his music at the age of twelve. In the following two years the whole thing gradually dawned on me. At the age of early 14, he took me to one of Dylan's shows. I was amazed. I read stacks of books, dug through my father's vinyl collection, spent hours on the internet and with my brother's stereo and complete dylan CD collection, including tons of odds & sodds, raritites, unoffical bootlegs etc. (!!). I can now not remember a single day since then where I haven't digged his some of his beatiful legacy to the world. And every time I discover something new.

Unfortunately, I have yet to see more people at my age be enlightened by his music. Even sadder, if said term is correct here, is that they will rather simply disgust my taste of music as old, boring and silly.

So, yes, there is atleast one of the younger forum members that "know knew he was", and not less know he IS. Atleast he thinks he does. Hopefully, and most likely, I'm not the only one.

It's because he is stereotyped and they don't take the time to read and understand his lyrics!!(and music)

Sorry double posted!! Getting old!
All most know is 3 or 4 songs that have been played over and over. I like his lesser known songs.(To some of us)!!


Boffer, you give me hope!!

I Liked the Christmas Album
Happy Birthday Bob!
