FLOSSI IS TANGLED UP IN BOB DYLAN

Bob Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota, is one of music history's most influential and celebrated figures. Over a more than six decade-long career, Dylan has redefined the boundaries of songwriting, blending folk, rock, blues, and literary influences to craft deeply impactful songs.

Early Life and Career

In the late 1950s, Dylan began performing in coffeehouses and clubs in Minneapolis, eventually moving to New York City in 1961.

Dylan’s self-titled debut album (1962) contained primarily traditional folk and blues covers but hinted at his songwriting potential.

His second album, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" (1963), launched him to fame with songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.”

In 1965, he went electric with “Like a Rolling Stone” and the album "Highway 61 Revisited," sparking controversy and revolutionizing rock music.

Albums like "Blood on the Tracks" (1975) showcased his ability to write deeply personal and emotionally complex songs.
