Bob Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24th, 1941, is approaching his 80th year. Does Generation Z understand the influence of Bob Dylan's music on America? He is one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time. He has been a major figure in popular culture in his 60 year career. He has sold over 125 million records starting as a folk singer before transitioning into blues and rock and roll. He is one of the most iconic figures in modern music. He has released 40 studio albums and 17 volumes of a Bootleg Series. Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his entire body of work. This pamplet written by James Geist covers Bob Dylan qoutes on music, life, women, God and relationships among other topics. The pamphlet also covers the top 15 albums and top 40 singles created by "the voice of a generation." It covers his boyhood town of Duluth Minnesota, to his musical influences and moving to Greenwich Village in New York City where the rest becomes history. Learn about the icon who did not identify as a folk singer, was mortified to go on stage to perform, but was the only place he felt happy. Was Dylan the prisoner or the guard in the prison of life? He loved women, but for some he gave his heart to, some ladies wanted his soul. For the poet-singer who embraced chaos, and loved to be misunderstood and claimed to have never written a political song, he also did not like being poet because he saw so many poets as slobs. He knew he did not have the greatest singing voice, but he also knew he could not act. Dylan claimed his voice sounded better in person than on record. Generation Z, learn about the man who said, "In the end I am a combination of guitar, harmonica and organ."
