Bob Dylan, young on 70 years old


Bob Dylan doesn't need a presentation. He is, without a doubt, one of the most important figures of the cultural history in the twenty century. We would able to mention citations from well-know people about his music and his presence is fundamental at the cultural history of the twentieth century. For example, Tom Waits said about his songs that: "They are sculpted in the spirit's bones". Americans magazzines mention him in their classifications as one of the most influential figures in the United States.

Musicians of all ages and practically from all styles, which they can be classifieds under the pop-rock name, reverence him. At the history of pop music there are a before and an after of that amazing trilogy in the middle of the seventies (Bringing it all back home, Highway revisited 61 and Blonde on blonde, the first double record at the history).

Drinking from the sources of the american traditional music (country, blues, gospel) and the rock, Dylan created an absolutely personal style, at the middle of sixties. Many people spoke about folk-rock and, without a doubt, the folk-rock existed, and thanks to Dylan. But the Dylan's music is specially the Dylan's music.

Robert Allen Zimmerman ( name which this son of jews was registered on the register seventy years ago) is a non-descript much as his mask. One of most remembered sentences of the artist known as Bob Dylan is which said that: " I am Bob Dylan only when I have to be Bob Dylan" But the question more difficult is to know who is Dylan: Is the folk singer at his early years? Is the arrogant junkie with his trilogy which change the rock? Is the hurt and left husband at the seventies? Is the reborn Christian at the eighties?- The Dylan's influence transcends the rock's borders.

His songs are, at the occasions more conspicuous, true poems which beats the breath of Rimbaus, Eliot, Yeats, Dylan Thomas, Ginbers and thay have earned some nominations to the literature's novel prize. The Dylan's fans from all class of around the world live attentive of every gesture and a few give him the category of true guru.

Fifty years on stages, including what he has stepped the last April in China, for a trayectorie which lived a new paragraph in 1966, when he suffered a terrible motorbike accident which led him to seclude of the fame and pressure, moving away of stages whilst He spent more time with his family. A career full of success, but with mysteries and masks too, as well as, the Gramy Museum remembers which opens this week the exhibition " Forever Young" in honour of the artist.
