Bob Dylan Trivia
|
- Awarded an honorary degree at the University of St. Andrews (Scotland). [June 2004]
- 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.")
- Although raised Jewish, he converted to a born-again version of Christianity in the late 70s. Today he is very private about his religious belief, although he has been known to practice during Jewish holidays.
- Renounced his faith in his born-again Christianity in 1983.
- Borrowed lines from a Japanese book "Confessions of a Yakuza" for lyrics in the songs of his latest Album "Love and Theft" - the author was apparently flattered by this.
