HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!





A very happy 79th birthday to Bob Dylan, born as Robert Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota on 24th May in 1941. 

“Though I know that evenin’s empire has returned into sandVanished from my handLeft me blindly here to stand but still not sleepingMy weariness amazes me, I’m branded on my feetI have no one to meetAnd the ancient empty street’s too dead for dreaming”

Hi Andy

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind words on photos. Always good to hear from you.

As a fellow Dylan aficionado, you may wish to know that Bob’s birthday shares the same date as an equally auspicious event...namely Mr & Mrs C’s wedding anniversary...

For 34 years I can therefore thank Bob for remembering the date... :-)

All the best

J

Damn missed your comment! Many many congratulations Johnny C! (and Mrs Johnny C!!!) What a great day to get wed . . . . . I'm sure there were other reasons too but heck that'll help. I need all the help I can get. I literally would forget my own birthday if it weren't on such a stupid day (St Valentine's Day!!!) Thanks for dropping by John and hope you guys are all well and staying safe
