BOB DYLAN's 81st BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOBBY!


It’s Bobby’s 81st birthday. Where is he? Somewhere out on the road probably singing and dancing for us! . . . . .actually time out from the tour but pops back up on the 28th in Spokane!
‘Do you think of yourself as a protest singer?’
I think of myself more as a song and dance man
A very happy birthday to Bob Dylan born this day in 1941 in Duluth Minnesota as Robert Zimmerman.
“Aaah, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow”
