Beschreibung | Bob Dylan (rechtlich Robert Dylan, geboren als Robert Allen Zimmerman am 24. Mai 1941) ist ein amerikanischer Singer-Songwriter. Dylan, der oft als einer der größten Songwriter aller Zeiten angesehen wird, war während seiner mehr als 60-jährigen Karriere eine wichtige Figur der Popkultur. Ein Großteil seiner bekanntesten Werke stammt aus den 1960er Jahren, als Songs wie "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) und "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (1964) zu Hymnen der Bürgerrechts- und Antikriegsbewegung wurden. In seine Texte aus dieser Zeit flossen eine Reihe politischer, sozialer, philosophischer und literarischer Einflüsse ein, die sich den Konventionen der Popmusik widersetzten und die aufkeimende Gegenkultur ansprachen. |
I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.
I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.
Money doesn't talk, it swears.
You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past - whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.
I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else.
I realize I don't do a very good job in keeping up to date, but I try to.
Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.
You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent God, the all-great God, the Almighty God, the most powerful God, the giver of life God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.
All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.
My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.
At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.
There is nothing so stable as change.
The land created me. I'm wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I'm more at home in the vacant lots.
I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.
What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.
I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.
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.
I'm sick of giving creeps money off my soul.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.
I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change.
Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.
