- mrfuzz, on 05/24/2009, -0/+36Thanks for all the great music - your songs have meant many different things to me, but they always mattered. For me that's greatness.
- atlasdugged, on 05/24/2009, -0/+27Dylan is the best poet of our generation...who will be the next one?
- pinkflyingpig, on 05/24/2009, -1/+22Wow, thanks for sharing. What a great article about Dylan!
From being a Woody Guthrie jr, to became his own, Robert Allen Zimmerman (aka Bob Dyan) has come a long way. His belief of “the important thing isn't just how you write songs, but your subject matter, your point of view", really sets him apart from the rest. I still remember the first time I listened to Knockin' On Heaven's Door, and I was totally overwhelmed.
Happy birthday, Bob Dylan! - fenceratpoly, on 05/24/2009, -0/+16Dylan is timeless!
- archivedigger, on 05/24/2009, -1/+17Robert Allen Zimmerman ftw.
- sibbett, on 05/24/2009, -0/+16To one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Happy Birthday, Bob.
- LedZep91, on 05/24/2009, -0/+16hmmm... a digg dialog with Bob Dylan would be great
- vbullinger, on 05/24/2009, -0/+13Bob Dylan, one of the best things to come from my great state of Minnesota, along with Kirby Puckett, Prince, the Mississippi River and Spam.
- AmyVernon, on 05/24/2009, -3/+16It's amazing that someone with so little skill as a singer and that mug became as huge as he did. And nice, too. His lyrics are nothing short of amazing and even his singing grows on you, after a fashion.
- MargotCross, on 05/24/2009, -0/+13you know, i think his voice is actually really special. not what you would typically consider "good" but who wants to be typical anyway? i think of his voice as just being an instrument through which his lyrics emanate.
- HoosierDONK, on 05/24/2009, -0/+10Happy birthday Bob! Your the man!! Dylan was a Woody man but give a listen to someone else he really admired.. Ramblin Jack Elliott. You can hear Bob through him more than you can Woody. Check out Bob Dylan on YouTube...
Love ya Bob - diggnidy, on 05/24/2009, -0/+10Kanye West
/s - MayorMcCheapo, on 05/24/2009, -1/+11I think that's the most interesting I've ever found Bob Dylan. Sure, I've liked his hits, they're great; but this article really does open a window, making him seem like an interesting topic. I especially love this quote:
"It's like a ghost is writing a song like that. It gives you the song and it goes away, it goes away. You don't know what it means. Except the ghost picked me to write the song." - Bob Dylan - codyman, on 05/24/2009, -0/+9Too bad that his concerts now are basically incoherent :-(
I mean, I love his music but at the same time, I couldn't understand what songs he was playing when he was touring recently and neither could anyone else in the crowd until about a minute into each song... - umanchik, on 05/24/2009, -0/+9An inspiring interview for anyone who is into music. Truly valuable advice from the greatest.
- mikemehak, on 05/24/2009, -0/+9Bob Dylan, he has such a phenomenal way with words that I could not put together the right words to describe/praise his abilities. He's truly magical
- herocomplexman, on 05/24/2009, -0/+8Bob Hilburn has done AMAZING interviews with Dylan through the years, this is one of the best
- tehknotte, on 05/24/2009, -0/+8THE TORQUES
THEY ARE
A CHANGIN!
- Hélènë - pinkflyingpig, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6But this article is so good, and so timeless! Happy birthday to you too!
- jcrs, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6Did anyone notice the multiple subtle references to Dylan songs throughout this article?
- pingpants, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6That's a cool idea.
- Egroh08, on 05/24/2009, -0/+5Once he gets over his fish dick fetish, that is.

- zip000, on 05/25/2009, -0/+4I doubt he is "of our generation" for most digg users. I mean, my mom was 4 when Dylan's first album came out, so he isn't even of my parents generation...and I'm 30.
- RatatRatR, on 05/25/2009, -0/+3We still want to claim him, though.
- Alwaysandnever, on 05/25/2009, -0/+3Man, my toes can't feel to grip and wait only for my boot heels to be wandering. Inspiring.
- MuRf07, on 05/25/2009, -0/+3The Hurricane .... what a tune! the list is endless!
- grapesofbaath, on 05/25/2009, -0/+3I'm actually listening to his new album right now. Not as good as Modern Times, but I can't say no to accordion accompaniment.
- richpav, on 05/25/2009, -0/+2How bout that. I thought Spam was from Nigeria.
- brownspank, on 05/25/2009, -0/+2/s for 'SRSLY'.
- DiggMistress, on 05/25/2009, -0/+2I saw Bob a couple weeks ago live in concert... absolutely amazing and blew me away! Amazing artist.. very lucky to see him.
- bryantee, on 05/25/2009, -0/+2I think it's kind of fun hearing a song in a completely different way. Just dig(g) the music.
- janjamm, on 05/25/2009, -0/+2A very satisfying article. Happy Birthday Mr. Dylan, you give us so much pleasure...and insight.
- burningrobot, on 05/25/2009, -0/+2***** you

Talk about old!
On a side note it is also my birthday today, I am proud to share my birthday with such a great... - revdrtomb, on 05/30/2009, -0/+1Well said. It's a poet's voice.
- Blajano, on 05/25/2009, -1/+2Mhm dylan is a huge icon when it comes to music history. But just stick to -your- generation kid.
- pinkflyingpig, on 05/24/2009, -0/+1You are right! This article is truly the most insightful one.

- ggfobster, on 05/25/2009, -1/+1Nah, he's one of the greatest.
You just haven't been turned on yet... - indubitably, on 05/25/2009, -1/+1and what, pray tell, do you listen to?

- indubitably, on 05/25/2009, -2/+2Uh, Will.i.am! duh, don't you pay attention to pepsi advertisements! /s
