Bob Dylan Trivia
|
- Appears on sleeve of The Beatles' "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
- Some of his biggest influences are Hank Williams, Muddy Waters, 'Ferdinand 'Jelly Roll' Morton' , Leadbelly, Mance Lipscomb, Big Joe Williams and Woody Guthrie.
- Said that when he performs "All Along the Watchtower," he thinks of it as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Although Dylan was the song's original writer, Hendrix's cover is the best known version of the song.
- Hitchhiked from Minnesota to New York after leaving college, paying his way with 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.")
- Father of the singer/songwriter Jakob Dylan of The Wallflowers.
