Ten Interesting Facts About Bob Dylan

[@omaracosta2706]

Honestly, Bob Dylan is such a huge inspiration. His lyrics have not only impacted me profoundly, they have become a part of me. They have taught me new things that I never knew about myself and now I want to give at least a little bit of what Bob has given me through my music.

[@zubinturakhia9460]

he deserves the nobel he has, no doubt

[@andrewpappas9311]

I actually went to see Dylan with my older brother a couple years ago and it was definitely an interesting performance from him, I remember he didn't even address the audience when he came on, in-between songs or at the end of his set as he just played through the songs and walked off at the end. Still an undeniable music legend with a number of damn good songs in his repertoire

[@tori2dles]

Sometimes he mumble sings through songs that are “obligatory” (think _Like a Rolling Stone_). It cracks me up because old Bob still has that anti-establishment spirit - even if “the establishment” in this case is whoever set up the contract. My brother nudged me during one concert to ask if he was high or drunk or whatever. He received an answer the moment Dylan launched into his newer music. His articulation was spot on and he looked like he lost 20 years. We loved it so much.

[@mattkaustickomments]

One of my college roommates (who worshipped Bob) saw him in ‘91 or ‘92 and was crushed when he literally could not recognize any of songs. Apparently Bob was super sloppy, played different arrangements and apparently just did not give a crap.

[@andrewpappas9311]

It was also the first time I saw him so I obviously didn't know what to expect, but it was still a solid show to say the least. He was really good and his performance held up pretty well

[@andrewhoyle1521]

His live shows (at least that I've seen) have been soso. I didn't like the Sinatra shit he insisted on playing. Though I love how he does different versions of songs at every show. I love how theres no just theatrics. Just pure music. He has done more with words and music than anyone who has ever lived

[@teddyfurstman1997]

Bob Dylan is a legend with great songs under his belt.

[@tori2dles]

One thing I always loved about Dylan is how he’d play our school (U of O) for $10. The night before he played in Portland full price ($90 if you purchased tickets at price, but way higher if you had to buy from scalpers - this was way back when.), but dropped it way down for us poor university kids the next night. It wasn’t really advertised so we could hold it in our smallish basketball arena. He did it most everytime he came through Oregon. It was neat to see that, besides kids, the youth Dylan first impacted in the 60’s were there bringing their teens and college age kids.

[@elstonngunn4193]

Dylan is such a cool guy

[@omaracosta2706]

It's amazing hearing these stories! Dylan understands how impactful the youth can be and how much we need to ensure that the youth are constantly inspired to lead.

[@reddiver7293]

Way cool! I wonder if Dylan would be considered PC enough to suit today's oh-so-easily-triggered college students?

[@mark-adams]

I graduated high school in the late 1980s. He was still the voice of a generation even then.

On January 31, 1959, Bob Dylan went to the Duluth (MN) Auditorium attend the Winter Dance Party because his idol, Buddy Holly, was headlining the show. A couple days later Holly died in a plane crash with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper.

It took me over 3 decades to get into Dylan. He's brilliant and definitely a musical icon. Another contribution to music was that he turned the Beatles on to Pot in 1964 at the Delmonico Hotel in NYC. lol. Even Paul confirmed Got to get you into my life (Revolver) was about his affinity to weed in the guise of a pop song.

[@nelgstuart3442]

People talk about the 50's & 60's a lot in reference to rock and roll, but not Folk music. In Rock n roll, most of the root influences of white people were always black people. Muddy Waters, Little Richard, Mahalia Jackson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and even in Country, there was Hank Williams Sr.'s mentor, Tee Tot, an old black man who taught Hank how to play the blues. But in Folk music, not so much. The Father of Folk music was probably Woody Guthrie. Bob Dylan, as we just heard, was hugely influenced by Woody, and look who Bob Dylan influenced! He created a Folk/Rock hybrid hitherto unknown to the world. He spawned what I call the 60's Folk explosion with such artists as The Byrds, The Buffalo Springfield, The Mama's and the Papa's, Peter Paul and Mary, John Denver, CSNY, Neil Young, David Crosby, many many more. Artists were experimenting with the same things Bob was, and look what happened. Popular music grew into 4 branches in the 60's; Rock n Roll, Folk-Rock, Rhythm and Blues, and Country. Then in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, it went wild. There are so many genres now its hard to define. Personally I think it has gone too far and needs to come back to the roots and start over.
