The legend!
The man!
Uh-huh.
Fans are elated that Bob Dylan is about to saunter onstage tomorrow night at the prestigious "Pearl" Nightclub Venue at the Palms Hotel in the desert oasis.
Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in St. Mary's Hospital in Duluth on May 24 (1941) and was raised in Hibbing, Minnesota.
The struggling artist moved to Minneapolis in September 1959, enrolled at the University of Minnesota, and concentrated his artistic focus on Rock & Roll (which later gave way to an keener interest in American folk music).
"The thing about rock'n'roll is that for me anyway it wasn't enough. There were great catch-phrases and driving pulse rhythms. But, the songs weren't serious or didn't reflect life in a realistic way. I knew that when I got into folk music, it was more of a serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more despair, more sadness, more triumph, more faith in the supernatural, much deeper feelings," Dylan noted in one of his early interviews.
According to his handlers, Dylan is more inclined to stray off the track, preferring to experiment with novel musical musings (if only to keep his creative blood flowing throughout his veins).
Personally, I savor the original versions when it comes to "Blowin in the Wind".
Meanwhile, Nashville Skyline has remained by fave album which was a break-out recording at the time it was first released.
The sometimes reclusive (neighbors once mistook an unshaven, unkempt, long-haired Dylan for a homeless man intruding on his property in Malibu) hit-maker is expected to sell-out the much-anticipated concert this weekend.
The times may be changing, but Dylan keeps rolling along!
And, fans, will be right there cheering the gifted genius on.
