BOB DYLAN – 80 YEARS OLD

Bob Dylan is one of the most critical parts of popular culture, in credit to his great talents as a singer, songwriter, author, and visual artist. In the 1960s, his songs, “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are a-Changin‘”, became the tune of the civil rights and the anti-war movements.

His lyrics often tackle political, social, philosophical, and literary issues, defying the pop music conventions that make it more appealing to the masses, especially to the counterculture. Today, Dylan is 79, but nothing can stop him from doing what he loves, continuously releasing new songs on his YouTube channel. Some say the song “Knockin on Heaven’s Door” was originally sang by the band Guns and Roses. Contrary to popular belief, Bob Dylan was the original performer of that song. Moreover, Dylan has garnered plenty awards including 10 Grammys. In 2020, he released an album entitled Rough and Rowdy Ways.
