Bob Dylan, Still a Rolling Stone

Only those who stick to their guns and do not hesitate in following their own way, are able to transcend their time and cause an everlasting impression on people. That is the case of Bob Dylan (Duluth, Minnesota, USA) who, in his seventy-first anniversary, still remains as an essential figure in the history of pop music.

His alternative way started soon. Not only did he change his name, but also changed how pop music was perceived. Throughout the 60's he left us some works that are considered as masterpieces, like “Blowin' in the Wind”, “The Times They Are a-Changing”, and

his famous hit “Like a Rolling Stone”, which was a turning point in his career. As if an electrical shock had awakened an inner slept spirit, he became unpredictable, and started reinventing himself and his music.

It is widely agreed that his most remarkable contribution was bringing sophistication and a sense of literature and poetry in lyrics. His songs became authentic anthems to the people, and have maintained a distinctive freshness over time. There is always something unique in his music; an underlying ambiguity that catch your attention, maybe with the aim of unscrambling his meaning, as unknown as his own personal life.

Although you do not know much about him, you can feel that he has something special, which has transcended and make him everlasting. And perhaps it is not a complicated issue. The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do, well. And he did it, overcoming obstacles and reluctance. And thus the rock keep on rolling till the endless horizon.
