Bob Dylan

**Bob Dylan** (born Robert Allen Zimmerman; May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist. Widely regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture for more than 50 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 and anti-war movements. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defied pop music conventions and appealed to the burgeoning counterculture.

## Links to Kershaw

Dylan was Kershaw's boy hero. He even left early after doing his A Level exam to go to a Bob Dylan gig. Kershaw secured the first British TV interview with Bob Dylan on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1984 when he decided to buy a jar of Hedgerow jam from a local shop as a gift to him.

Kershaw later did many radio documentaries based on his hero, including the radio programme, Ghosts of Electricity, which was broadcast on 23 December 1999 and looked at Dylan's infamous 1966 Manchester gig, where someone in the crowd shouted out Judas to him, because he decided to play electric guitar.

In 2007, Kershaw nominated Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone track for his Desert Island Discs.

At the Hay Festival in 2012, Kershaw mentioned that Bob Dylan's best work were between 1962 to 1976 and after that you can forget about it. [1]
