Bob Dylan was born on 24 May 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota. He grew up in a Jewish middle-class family in the city of Hibbing. Bob Dylan (Robert Allen Zimmerman) is a poet, songwriter, singer, artist, and writer. Bob Dylan Said about him that "I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet". Dylan's lyrics incorporate a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences. In his time he was the symbol of impatience. During 1971 he was stand beside Bengali people. He said about him another interview that "I am a poet and I know it". 

His words became rallying cries for the anti-war and civil rights movements; he spoke of war, of peace, of fear, of displacement, and he did it all in the most available of ways  through song. Here is one of the favorite Bob Dylan song lyrics. Read his words, listen to his words, and remind yourself why he absolutely deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature.


"Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowing' in the wind
The answer is blowing' in the wind."
