    Because when Martin Luther King Jr gave his legendary "I have a
    dream" speech, Dylan wasn't just in the audience, he was on stage a
    few feet from Dr King, having just sung "Only a Pawn in Their Game"
    and "Blowin' in the Wind".

    Early Life:

    His lyrics the first in rock to be seriously regarded as literature


    became so well known that politicians from Jimmy Carter to Vaclav
    Havel have cited them as an influence.

    Born May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota, Robert Allen Zimmerman's


    family moved to Hibbing when he was six. After taking up guitar and
    harmonica, he formed the Golden Chords while a high school
    freshman. He enrolled at the arts college of the University of
    Minnesota in 1959; during his three semesters there, he began
    performing solo at coffeehouses as Bob Dylan; he legally changed his
    name in August 1962.

    Dylan moved to New York City in January 1961, saying he wanted to


    meet Woody Guthrie, who by then was hospitalized with Huntington's
    chorea. Dylan visited his idol frequently. That April he played New
    York's Gerdes Folk City as the opening act for bluesman John Lee
    Hooker, with a set of Guthrie-style ballads and his own lyrics set to
    traditional tunes. A New York Times review by Robert Shelton alerted
    A&R man John Hammond, who signed Dylan to Columbia and
    produced his 1962 debut album.
    He grew up in the northeastern Minnesota mining town of Hibbing, where his
    father co-owned Zimmerman Furniture and Appliance Co. Taken with the
    music of Hank Williams, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Ray, he
    acquired his first guitar in 1955 at age 14 and later, as a high school student,
    played in a series of rock and roll bands. In 1959, just before enrolling at the
    University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, he served a brief stint playing piano
    for rising pop star Bobby Vee. While attending college, he discovered the
    bohemian section of Minneapolis known as Dinkytown. Fascinated by Beat
    poetry and folksinger Woody Guthrie, he began performing folk music in
    coffeehouses, adopting the last name Dylan (after the Welsh poet Dylan
    Thomas). Restless and determined to meet Guthriewho was confined to a
    hospital in New Jerseyhe relocated to the East Coast.

    His maternal grandparents, Ben and Florence Stone, were Lithuanian Jews who arrived in the
    United States in 1902.[7] In his autobiography, Chronicles: Volume One, Dylan wrote that his
    paternal grandmother's maiden name was Kirghiz and her family originated from Kazman district of
    Kars Province in northeastern Turkey.[8]

    Dylan's father, Abram Zimmerman an electric-appliance shop owner and mother, Beatrice
    "Beatty" Stone, were part of a small, close-knit Jewish community. They lived in Duluth until Robert
    was six, when his father had polio and the family returned to his mother's hometown, Hibbing, where
    they lived for the rest of Robert's childhood. In his early years he listened to the radiofirst to blues
    and country stations from Shreveport, Louisiana, and later, when he was a teenager, to rock and
    roll.[9][10]
