True, he was born Robert Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, and took his stage name from Dylan Thomas. His stature has been beyond iconic for decades now, and he has a new release available. Below is a link to his homepage, and you can red all about it, and so much more, there.
In high school some of us debated with our teachers about how Dylan was a poet. A sympathetic response was, "I know you want him to be, Art, but....". While not all of his lyrics are poetry, quite a few are. On my Collections I have his "Gates of Eden", for example.
Dylan was not afraid to break new artistic ground, even if people scorned him for going electric and calling him a Judas. I find it admirable that he goes into uncharted waters. When in Nashville, we looked down the street from Studio B to the building where he recorded Blonde on Blonde. Neither the first nor the last folkie/rocker/whatever to be influenced by and influence Nashville, he was perhaps the most famous.
His Chronicles, a partial autobiography, also revealed another side (pardon the pun) of Bob Dylan. He mentioned that he would have liked to have attended West Point. General Dylan? That's heavy!
