Dylan's Basement

About

Born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota. Father Abe ran a furniture store. Mother Beatty raised me in Hibbing -- iron range country, frozen half the year. I heard Woody Guthrie on the radio and left for New York. I changed my name. I sang protest songs until they called me the voice of a generation. Then I plugged in an electric guitar and they booed me. Then I went country. Then Christian. Then whatever the hell the 1980s were. Then Time Out of Mind in 1997 and suddenly the critics loved me again. I won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016 and didn't show up to collect it. I've been on the Never Ending Tour since 1988 -- three hundred shows a year, year after year. The songs are different every night because I am different every night. 'I contain multitudes.'
