Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman; May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist who has been a major figure in popular culture for more than fifty years.
Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (1964) became anthems for the civil rights movement and anti-war movement.
His lyrics during this period incorporated a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defied pop-music conventions and appealed to the burgeoning counterculture.
Following his self-titled debut album in 1962, which mainly comprised traditional folk songs, Dylan made his breakthrough as a songwriter with the release of "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" the following year.
The album featured "Blowin' in the Wind" and the thematically complex "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall."
For many of these songs, he adapted the tunes and phraseology of older folk songs.
He went on to release the politically charged "The Times They Are a-Changin'" and the more lyrically abstract and introspective "Another Side of Bob Dylan" in 1964.
In 1965 and 1966, Dylan encountered controversy when he adopted electrically amplified rock instrumentation, and in the space of 15 months recorded three of the most important and influential rock albums of the 1960s: "Bringing It All Back Home" (1965), "Highway 61 Revisited" (1965) and "Blonde on Blonde" (1966).
The six-minute single "Like a Rolling Stone" (1965) has been described as challenging and transforming the "artistic conventions of its time, for all time."
In July 1966, Dylan withdrew from touring after being injured in a motorcycle accident.
During this period, he recorded a large body of songs with members of the Band, who had previously backed him on tour.
These recordings were released as the collaborative album "The Basement Tapes" in 1975.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dylan explored country music and rural themes in "John Wesley Harding" (1967), "Nashville Skyline" (1969), and "New Morning" (1970).
In 1975, he released "Blood on the Tracks", which many saw as a return to form.
In the late 1970s, he became a born-again Christian and released a series of albums of contemporary gospel music before returning to his more familiar rock-based idiom in the early 1980s.
The major works of his later career include "Time Out of Mind" (1997), "Love and Theft" (2001), "Modern Times" (2006) and "Tempest" (2012).
His most recent recordings have comprised versions of traditional American standards, especially songs recorded by Frank Sinatra.
Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been dubbed the Never Ending Tour.
Since 1994, Dylan has published eight books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries.
He has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
He has also received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award.
Dylan has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Minnesota Music Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The Pulitzer Prize Board in 2008 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."
In 2016, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."

Andrew Anderson (St. Augustine, Florida)
Andrew Anderson II( March 13, 1839 in St. Augustine, Florida – December 2, 1924 in St. Augustine) was an American physician, philanthropist, mayor and benefactor of St. Augustine, Florida.
Anderson commissioned multiple works of art to adorn a variety of public spaces in the City of St. Augustine, including the two Medici lion statues placed at the approach to the famed Bridge of Lions.
Anderson was the son of New York physician Dr. Andrew Anderson I, an 1813 graduate of the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons.
His father arrived in St. Augustine in 1829 aboard the schooner General Jackson, along with his mother Mary and two sisters Hannah and Emily.
Within a few years the elder Anderson had become a pillar of the community.
In 1830 he was elected head of the local temperance society, St. Augustine alderman in 1833 and 1834, a justice of the peace and an elder of the Presbyterian Church in 1839.
The elder Anderson's first wife Mary Anderson died on September 8, 1837.
In 1838 he married Clarissa Cochrane Fairbanks a widow from New Hampshire.
Their son Andrew Anderson II was born in 1839.
In the same year his father laid the cornerstone for what would eventually become the Markland Mansion on the plantation he owned on land between the San Sebastian River and Maria Sanchez Creek.
Soon after beginning construction on Markland his father perished in a yellow fever outbreak which had struck St. Augustine.

I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine
"I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" is a song by Bob Dylan that was originally released on his 1967 album "John Wesley Harding".
It was recorded at the first "John Wesley Harding" session on October 17, 1967.
It has been covered by many artists, including Joan Baez on her all-Dylan album "Any Day Now", as well as by Vic Chesnutt, Eric Clapton, John Doe, Thea Gilmore, Adam Selzer and Dirty Projectors.
In addition, Jimi Hendrix at one point intended to cover this song, but felt it was too personal to Dylan and instead covered a different song from the album, "All Along the Watchtower".
"I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" is a pensive ballad.
Like the rest of the "John Wesley Harding" album, the music of "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine"
uses spare, unobtrusive musical accompaniment.
The primary instruments are an acoustic guitar and drums.
The lyrics describe a dream that is enigmatic and subject to interpretation.
However, the lyrics do convey a deeply felt sense of guilt, as well as a vision of faith, righteousness, fear and betrayal.
The sense of guilt is particularly prevalent in the final verse:
The opening couplet of the song paraphrases the song "Joe Hill", which begins with the lines
"I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night", by Alfred Hayes and Earl Robinson. "
Joe Hill" was a folk song written as a tribute to the union organizer Joe Hill, who was viewed by supporters as a martyr after he was convicted of a motiveless murder based on weak evidence.
The reference is ironic, since the song seems to deny the existence of modern martyrs to lead humanity towards salvation.
The St. Augustine in the title has often been linked to St. Augustine of Hippo, although St. Augustine of Hippo was not martyred, but died during the Vandal sack of Hippo.
He was, however, a philosopher who wrote about evil and guilt, he defined the concept of original sin and therefore mankind's ultimate guilt, and could have viewed himself as being martyred in the sense of being killed by his own sins.
In the dream revealed in the song, St. Augustine wears a coat of solid gold, which may signify either the worldly excesses of mankind and the Catholic Church or St. Augustine's own spiritual wealth.
He also carries a blanket, which may be a sign of asceticism or of his compassion.
St. Augustine searches for "the very souls / Whom already have been sold," a reference to the commercialization of mankind's inner self, a motif that will recur on later songs on the album such as "Dear Landlord" and "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest".
He tells "ye gifted kings and queens" that "No martyr is among ye now," but consoles them with the knowledge that nonetheless they are not alone.
But the dream ends with the narrator realizing that he himself is among those that put St. Augustine to death, initiating his feelings of guilt as he now sees the error of his ways.
One interpretation of the song is that St. Augustine is a stand-in for Dylan himself, who had been viewed as a prophet or messiah, was nearly "martyred" in a motorcycle accident a few months before the song was written, but in any case had come too late since mankind (including himself) had already sold its soul to many temptations.
Another possible interpretation is that Dylan sees himself as being among those who "put Him out to death," a reference to responsibility for the death of Jesus, the ultimate expression of personal guilt.
In a 2005 poll of artists published by "MojoI Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" was listed as the #76 greatest Bob Dylan song of all time.
Dylan played the song live, in a slow waltz arrangement, at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1969, a performance included on "Isle of Wight Live", part of the 4-CD deluxe edition of .
He also played the song live on the Rolling Thunder Revue in the 1970s, as may be heard on the box set , and with the Heartbreakers in the 1980s, but has rarely performed the song live since.
In 2016, Eric Clapton released his take on the tune for his studio album "
I Still Do".
