Bob Dylan's Quotes

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify alot of folks.
The radio makes hideous sounds.
What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.

Interesting Facts about Bob Dylan

July 1966: He was in a serious motorcycle accident, and in seclusion until late 1969.
1991: Awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys.
5/27/97: Admitted to hospital for treatment of a "potentially life-threatening infection".
Father of the singer/songwriter Jakob Dylan of The Wallflowers.
February 1964: Dylan and three friends drove south from New York to see some of the US heartland. He insisted they stop unannounced to see poet Carl Sandburg in North Carolina. To his lasting disappointment, Dylan left after some ten minutes when he sadly realized he couldn't get the venerable man of letters to take him seriously as a fellow poet.
2000: Awarded the Polar Music Prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Music Award.
1/30/90: Received France's highest cultural award, the Commandeur dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
6/9/70: Awarded honorary doctorate by Princeton University, Princeton, NJ.
1/18/88: Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Bruce Springsteen at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York City.
1985: Daughter Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan born. Mother is gospel-rock vocalist Carol Dennis, a backup singer who formerly worked with him and who he secretly married.
At the famous "Johnny Cash at San Quentin" concert, Johnny Cash introduced a song co-written by Dylan, describing him as "...the greatest writer of our time".
Son Jesse Dylan is a director.
Early in his career used the stage name Elston Gunn.
His albums "Time Out of Mind" (1997), "Love and Theft" (2001) and "Modern Times" (2006) were voted Album of the Year in the Village Voice's annual critics' poll.
Appears on sleeve of The Beatles' "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
Borrowed lines from a Japanese book "Confessions of a Yakuza" for lyrics in the songs of his album "Love and Theft" - the author was apparently flattered by this.
Attended the University of Minnesota briefly after graduating high school; flunked out by non-participation ("refusin' to see a rabbit die" in a science class, and reading Kant instead of a required textbook), and cutting classes to frequent the local Dinkytown coffeehouses.
Hitchhiked from Minnesota to New York after leaving college, paying his way by doing odd jobs and sleeping wherever he could find space. Stopped at a courthouse along the way and legally changed his name from Zimmerman to Dylan (when asked later if his name was spelled like Dylan Thomas, he answered "No, like Bob Dylan").
1964: Introduced The Beatles to pot-smoking, during their first meeting in New York; each told the press later, "We just laughed all night.".
Dylan's father owned a furniture store when young "Bobby" was in high school, and sent him once on rounds, to collect from installment-plan customers late on their bills. When Dylan returned and told his father "Dad, those people don't have any money," his father replied "Some of those people make as much money as I do; they just don't know how to manage it." The lesson stuck with Dylan.
