# Bob Dylan

> He took folk music - a form built for protest songs and three chords - and wired it with the voltage of Rimbaud and Whitman, then plugged it in and made half his audience boo. The songwriter who gave the '60s its anthems spent the next fifty years refusing to be that guy.

*American singer-songwriter (born 1941)*

## Bio

Born Robert Zimmerman in Minnesota, he arrived in New York in 1961 chasing Woody Guthrie's ghost and cut his first album of traditional folk the next year. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963) and the anthems that followed - "Blowin' in the Wind", "The Times They Are a-Changin'" - made him the voice of civil rights and antiwar movements he never asked to represent. Then in 1965 he went electric, releasing Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and the six-minute "Like a Rolling Stone", which cracked open what a pop song could be and do. A motorcycle crash in 1966 pulled him off the road for seven years; he emerged chasing country sounds on John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline, then cycled through decades of reinvention - Blood on the Tracks in 1975, a Grammy for Time Out of Mind in 1997, and a touring schedule since the late '80s that never stops. In 2016 they gave him the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first songwriter to get it.
