Modèle:Sprotect2 Modèle:Otheruses4 Modèle:Infobox musical artist Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, musician, poet, and, of late, disc jockey who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan's most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal chronicler and a reluctant figurehead of American unrest. A number of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'",<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm | title = Dylan 'reveals origin of anthem' | accessdate = 2006-08-04 | publisher = BBC news | date = 2004-04-11 }}</ref> became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His most recent studio album, Modern Times, released on August 29, 2006, entered the U.S. album charts at #1, making him, at age 65, the oldest living person to top those charts.<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200609/s1735288.htm | title = Dylan back on top at 65 | accessdate = 2007-05-29 | publisher = ABC News | date = 2006-09-07 }}</ref> It was later named Album of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine.<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.rollingstone.com/news/story/12800635/the_top_50_albums_of_2006 | title = The Top 50 Albums of The Year | accessdate = 2007-09-13 | publisher = Rolling Stone | date = 2006-12-11 }}</ref>
Dylan's early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing pop music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture of the time. While expanding and personalizing musical styles, he has shown steadfast devotion to many traditions of American song, from folk and country/blues to gospel, rock and roll and rockabilly, to English, Scottish and Irish folk music, even jazz and swing.<ref>{{cite web news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.ew.com/ew/article/review/music/0,6115,173933~4~~lovetheft,00.html | title = "Love and Theft" | publisher = Entertainment Weekly | date = 2001-10-01 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.villagevoice.com/music/0139,tate,28446,22.html | title = Intelligence Data: Bob Dylan's Love & Theft | publisher = The Village Voice | date = 2001-10-01 }}</ref>
Dylan performs with the guitar, keyboard and harmonica. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been dubbed the "Never Ending Tour". He has also performed alongside other major artists, such as The Band, Tom Petty, Joan Baez, George Harrison, The Grateful Dead, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, Patti Smith, Emmylou Harris, Bruce Springsteen, U2, The Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Jack White, Merle Haggard, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr and Stevie Nicks. Although his accomplishments as performer and recording artist have been central to his career, his songwriting is generally regarded as his greatest contribution.<ref>Modèle:Cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.time.com/time/time100/artists/profile/dylan.html</ref>

His parents, Abram Zimmerman and Beatrice "Beatty" Stone, were part of the area's small but close-knit Jewish community. Zimmerman lived in Duluth until age seven.

During his Dinkytown days, Zimmerman began introducing himself as "Bob Dylan". In his autobiography, Chronicles (2004), he wrote, "What I was going to do as soon as I left home was just call myself Robert Allen.... It sounded like a Scottish king and I liked it." However, by reading Downbeat magazine, he discovered that there was already a saxophonist called David Allyn. Around the same time, he became acquainted with the poetry of Dylan Thomas. Zimmerman felt he had to choose between Robert Allyn and Robert Dylan. "I couldn't decide — the letter D came on stronger", he explained. He decided on "Bob" because there were several Bobbies in popular music at the time.<ref>Dylan, Chronicles, Vol. 1, 78–79.</ref>
Relocation to New York and record deal
Dylan dropped out of college at the end of his freshman year. He stayed in Minneapolis, working the folk circuit there with temporary journeys to Denver, Colorado; Madison, Wisconsin; and Chicago, Illinois. In January 1961, he moved to New York City, to perform there and to visit his ailing musical idol Woody Guthrie, who was then dying in a New Jersey hospital. Guthrie had been a revelation to Dylan and was the biggest influence on his early performances. Dylan would later say of Guthrie's work, "You could listen to his songs and actually learn how to live."<ref name = "No Direction Home" /> In the hospital room, Dylan met Woody's old road-buddy Ramblin' Jack Elliott, who was visiting Guthrie the day after returning from his own trip to Europe. Dylan and Elliott became friends, and much of Guthrie's repertoire was actually channeled through Elliott. Dylan paid tribute to Elliott in Chronicles (2004).<ref>Dylan, Chronicles, Vol. 1, 250–252.</ref>
From April to September 1961, he played at various clubs around Greenwich Village.<ref>You must specify title = and url = when using {{cite web}}.

On Wednesday 23 June 2004, Dylan was awarded an honorary degree by the University of St. Andrews and made a "Doctor of Music."<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/3830099.stm | title = Dylan receives honorary degree | accessdate = 2007-07-13 | publisher = BBC News | date = 2004-06-23 }}</ref> Professor Neil Corcoran, of the university's school of English department, and author of the collection of academic essays on Dylan entitled Do You Mr Jones: Bob Dylan with the Poets and the Professors, declared in his presentation speech that "For many of us, Bob Dylan has been an extension of our consciousness and part of our growing up." This is only the second time that Dylan has accepted an honorary degree, the other being an honorary doctorate in music conferred on him by Princeton University in 1970.

The film received a Peabody Award in April 2006, and a Columbia-duPont Award in January 2007.<ref>{{cite web news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.jrn.columbia.edu/events/dupont/winners_2007.asp | title = Columbia-duPont Award Winners, 2007 | publisher = The Journalism School, Columbia University | accessdate = 2007-01-30 }}</ref> An accompanying soundtrack was released in August 2005, which contained much previously unavailable early Dylan material.
Dylan himself returned to the recording studio at some point in 2005, where he recorded "Tell Ol' Bill" for the motion picture North Country. The song is an original composition, not a cover of the similarly titled traditional folk song. The melody is based on "I Never Loved But One" by the Carter Family.
In February 2006, Dylan recorded tracks in New York City that were to result in the album Modern Times, released on August 29 2006. In a well-publicized interview to promote the album, Dylan criticised the quality of modern sound recordings and claimed that his new songs "probably sounded ten times better in the studio when we recorded 'em".<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.rollingstone.com/news/story/11216877/the_modern_times_of_bob_dylan_a_legend_comes_to_grips_with_his_iconic_status/print | title = The Genius of Bob Dylan | accessdate = 2006-09-11 | publisher = Rolling Stone | date = 2006-08-21 }}</ref>
Despite some coarsening of Dylan’s voice (The Guardian critic characterised his singing on the album as “a catarrhal death rattle”<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//arts.guardian.co.uk/critic/review/0,,1857351,00.html | title = Bob Dylan's "Modern Times" | accessdate = 2006-09-05 | publisher = The Guardian | date = 2006-08-28 }}</ref>) most reviewers gave the album high marks and many described it as the final installment of a successful trilogy, embracing Time Out of Mind and "Love and Theft".<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.metacritic.com/music/artists/dylanbob/moderntimes | title = "Modern Times" | accessdate = 2006-09-05 | publisher = Metacritic }}</ref> Among the tracks most frequently singled out for praise were "Workingman's Blues #2" (the title was a nod to Merle Haggard's song of that name), and the final song “Ain’t Talkin’”, a nine minute talking blues in which Dylan appeared to be walking “through all-enveloping darkness, before finally disappearing into the murk”.<ref>John Harris, Mojo magazine, October 2006, p 94</ref> Modern Times made news by entering the U.S. charts at #1, making it Dylan's first album to reach that position since 1976's Desire, 30 years prior. At 65, Dylan became the oldest living musician to top the Billboard albums chart. The record also reached number one in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Switzerland.
Nominated for three Grammy Awards, Modern Times won Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album and Bob Dylan also won Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance for "Someday Baby." Modern Times was ranked as the Album of the Year, 2006, by Rolling Stone Magazine<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.rollingstone.com/news/story/12800635/the_top_50_albums_of_2006 | title = Modern Times, Album of the Year, 2006 | publisher = Rolling Stone | date = 2006-12-16 }}</ref>, and by Uncut in the UK.<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.uncut.co.uk/music/uncut/news/9182| title = Modern Times, Album of the Year, 2006 | publisher = Uncut | date = 2006-12-16 }}</ref>
On the same day that "Modern Times" was released the iTunes Music Store released Bob Dylan: The Collection, a digital box set containing all of his studio and live albums (773 tracks in total), along with 42 rare & unreleased tracks and a 100 page booklet. To promote the digital box set and the new album (on iTunes), Apple released a 30 second TV spot featuring Dylan, in full country & western regalia, lip-synching to "Someday Baby" against a striking white background.
In September 2006 Scott Warmuth, an Albuquerque, N.M.-based disc jockey, noted similarities between Dylan's lyrics in the album, Modern Times and the poetry of Henry Timrod, the 'Poet Laureate of the Confederacy'. A wider debate developed in The New York Times and other journals about the nature of "borrowing" within the folk process and in literature.<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.nytimes.com/2006/09/14/arts/music/14dyla.html?ref=books | title = "Who’s This Guy Dylan Who’s Borrowing Lines From Henry Timrod?" | accessdate = 2006-09-19 | publisher = The New York Times | date = 2006-09-14 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.nytimes.com/2006/09/17/opinion/17vega.html?n=Top%2fReference%2fTimes%20Topics%2fPeople%2fD%2fDylan%2c%20Bob | title = "The Ballad of Henry Timrod | accessdate = 2006-09-20 | publisher = The New York Times | date = 2006-09-17 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.nytimes.com/2006/09/20/opinion/l20dylan.html | title = "The Answer, My Friend, Is Borrowin’ ...

BBC Radio 2 commenced transmission of Dylan's radio show in the UK on December 23, 2006, and BBC 6 Music started carrying it in January 2007.

On October 1, Columbia Records released a triple CD retrospective album entitled Dylan, anthologising his entire career.<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.dylan07.com/ | title = Dylan 07 | accessdate = 2007-08-17 | publisher = Sony BMG Music Entertainment | date = 2007-08-01 }}</ref> As part of the marketing campaign for this album, using the Dylan 07 logo, British record producer Mark Ronson was asked to produce a re-mix of "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)", originally released on Blonde on Blonde in 1966. This was the first time Dylan had sanctioned a re-mix of one of his classic recordings.<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//living.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1434992007 | title = A Zombie on Halloween | publisher = The Scotsman | date = 2007-09-08 }}</ref> Ronson's re-mix was released as a maxi-single in October but not included in the Dylan triple album.
The sophistication of the Dylan 07 marketing campaign was a reminder that Dylan’s commercial profile was far higher in the first decade of the new millennium than it had been in the 1990s. In 2004, much publicity surrounded Dylan’s agreeing to appear in a TV advertisement for Victoria’s Secret lingerie.<ref>{{cite web news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.slate.com/id/2098635/ | title = What's Bob Dylan Doing In A Victoria's Secret Ad? | publisher = Slate | date = 2004-04-12 }}</ref> In October 2007, Dylan appeared in a multi-media campaign to promote the 2008 Cadillac Escalade.<ref>{{cite web news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.xmradio.com/dylan-cadillac/index.xmc | title = Dylan, Cadillac | publisher = XM Radio | date = 2007-10-22 }}</ref> He also devoted an hour of his Theme Time Radio Hour to the theme of the Cadillac.<ref>Dylan had first sung about this car in his 1963 nuclear war fantasy, “Talkin’ World War III Blues”, when he described it as a “good car to drive – after a war”.</ref>
Also released in October, the DVD The Other Side of the Mirror: Bob Dylan Live at the Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965 featured previously unseen footage, chronicling the changes in Dylan’s style when he appeared at Newport in three successive years. This film was broadcast by BBC Four on October 14, 2007. Director Murray Lerner commented: “Over the course of three Newport gigs, Dylan becomes more conscious of his power. His charisma is startling. With electricity and radio, he did what Yeats, Lorca, T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound never achieved. He reached a mass audience with poetry."<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2007-09-05-dylan-cover_N.htm | title = Dylan projects are blowin’ in | publisher = USA Today | date = 2007-09-06 }}</ref>

Recent live performances and the Never Ending Tour
Dylan has played roughly 100 dates a year for the entirety of the 1990s and the 2000s, a heavier schedule than most performers who started out in the 1960s.<ref>Muir, Razor's Edge, 7–10</ref><ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.bjorner.com/still.htm#y06 | title = Log of every Dylan performance, 1958 to Today | accessdate = 2006-08-22 | publisher = Bjorner's Still on the Road | date = 2006-08-20 }}</ref> The "Never Ending Tour" continues, anchored by longtime bassist Tony Garnier and filled out with talented musicians better known to their peers than to their audiences.

Some fans have complained that, as Dylan's vocal range has diminished, he has resorted to a technique they have labelled 'upsinging'. One critic described the technique as Dylan's "dismantling melodies by delivering phrases in a monotone and ending them an octave higher".<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/toronto/story.html?id=d423c09c-a659-4fb5-a0c7-e3ede7c4ca45 | title = "Dylan and fans ageing gracefully" by Mike Doherty | accessdate = 2007-09-05 | publisher = National Post | date = 2006-11-08 }}</ref>
For a two and a half year period, between 2003 and 2006, Dylan ceased playing guitar, and stuck to the keyboard during concerts. Various rumors circulated as to why Dylan gave up guitar during this period, none very reliable. According to David Gates, a Newsweek reporter who interviewed Dylan in 2004, "...basically it has to do with his guitar not giving him quite the fullness of sound he was wanting at the bottom. (Six strings on a guitar, ten fingers on a piano.) He's thought of hiring a keyboard player so he doesn't have to do it himself, but hasn't been able to figure out who. Most keyboard players, he says, like to be soloists, and he wants a very basic sound."<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6099027/site/newsweek/ | title = "Another Look at Bob Dylan" by David Gates | accessdate = 2006-09-06 | publisher = Newsweek | date = 2004-10-29 }}</ref> Dylan's touring band has two guitarists along with a multi-instrumentalist who plays steel guitar, mandolin, banjo and fiddle. From 2002 to 2005, Dylan's keyboard had a piano sound. In 2006, this was changed to an organ sound. At the start of his Spring 2007 tour in Europe, Dylan played the first half of the set on electric guitar and switched to keyboard for the second half.<ref>{{cite news news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//my.execpc.com/~billp61/032707s.html | title = March 27, 2007, Stockholm, Sweden | accessdate = 2007-03-30 | publisher = Bob Links }}</ref> Dylan commenced the 2007 installment of his "Never Ending Tour" with concert dates in Europe in the spring, followed by Australia and New Zealand in the summer, and the USA in the fall.
Personal life
Dylan married Sara Lownds on November 22, 1965; their first child, Jesse Byron Dylan, was born on January 6 1966. Dylan and Lownds had four children: Jesse Byron, Anna Lea, Samuel Isaac Abraham, and Jakob Luke (born December 9, 1969). Dylan also adopted Sara Lownds' daughter from a prior marriage, Maria Lownds (later Dylan), (born October 21 1961 now married to musician Peter Himmelman). In the 1990s the youngest of his children, Jakob Dylan, became well known as the lead singer of the band The Wallflowers. Jesse Dylan is a film director and a successful businessman. Bob and Sara Dylan were divorced on June 29 1977,<ref>Gray, The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, 198–200</ref> though they reportedly remained in regular contact for many years and, by some accounts, even to the present day.
In June 1986, Dylan married his longtime backup singer Carolyn Dennis (often professionally known as Carol Dennis).<ref>Sounes, Down The Highway: The Life Of Bob Dylan, 372–3</ref> Their daughter, Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan, was born on January 31, 1986.

Chronicles: Volume One
After a lengthy delay, October 2004 saw the publishing of Dylan's autobiography Chronicles: Volume One, with which he once again confounded expectations.<ref name="Maslin">{{cite web news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//www.nytimes.com/2004/10/05/books/05masl.html?ex=1154664000&en=4ff016533525f29f&ei=5070 | title = So You Thought You Knew Dylan? Hah! | accessdate = 2006-08-04 | last = Maslin | first= Janet | date = 2004-10-05 | publisher = The New York Times | pages = 2 }}</ref> Dylan wrote three chapters about the year between his arrival in New York City in 1961 and recording his first album. Dylan focused on the brief period before he was a household name, while virtually ignoring the mid-1960s when his fame was at its height. Details about his motorcycle accident are limited to a few words in a single sentence. He also devoted chapters to two lesser-known albums, New Morning (1970) and Oh Mercy (1989), which contained insights into his collaborations with poet Archibald MacLeish and producer Daniel Lanois. In the New Morning chapter, Dylan expresses distaste for the "spokesman of a generation" label bestowed upon him, and evinces disgust with his more fanatical followers.
Another section features Dylan's account of a guitar-playing style in mathematical detail that he claimed was the key to his renaissance in the 1990s.<ref>Dylan, Chronicles, Vol. 1, 156–162</ref> Despite the opacity of some passages, there is an overall clarity in voice that is generally missing in Dylan's other prose writings,<ref name="Maslin"> </ref> and a noticeable generosity towards friends and lovers of his early years.<ref>{{cite web news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3618291.stm//dir.salon.com/story/books/review/2004/10/08/dylan/index.html?pn=1 | title = Chronicles, Volume 1 | accessdate = 2006-08-04 | author = Taylor, Charles | date = 2004-10-08 | pages = 3 | publisher = Salon.com }}</ref> At the end of the book, Dylan describes with great passion the moment when he listened to the Brecht/Weill song "Pirate Jenny", and the moment when he first heard Robert Johnson’s recordings. In these passages, Dylan suggested the process which ignited his own song writing.
Chronicles: Volume One reached number two on The New York Times' Hardcover Non-Fiction best seller list in December 2004 and was nominated for a National Book Award. Simultaneously, Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble reported the book as their number two best-seller among all categories.<ref>Gray, The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, 136–8</ref> Chronicles: Volume One is the first of three planned volumes.
