Bob Dylan's 65th birthday is today

Sixty five years ago today, Robert Zimmerman was born in Duluth, Minnesota, in the north country, not too far from Highway 61.

Of course about twenty years later he changed his name to Bob Dylan.

Music and society would never be the same.

Here are some appropriate lyrics for the occasion, from his second album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
