by Jill Riley
May 24, 2023
Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941, in Duluth. He has since assembled a musical legacy among the greats, with beloved albums, awards and honors galore, movies, a museum in Oklahoma, and his Never Ending Tour.
Dylan is a strong enough performer that he owns the definitive version of many of his songs, but he’s also a strong enough songwriter that many folks have felt compelled to interpret his work. Today is about celebrating the songs of Bob Dylan, whether performed by him, or covered expertly by others.
