Bob Dylan.
Jewish origins the family came
fleeing a pogrom in Russia's Ukraine.
The United States they headed for
not far from Lake Superiors shore.
Europe at war when Bob was born
Hitler determined, Europe war-torn.
Nineteen forty one the date
May, Bob began to actuate.
Duluth. Minnesota our hero's birth
St. Mary's Hospital he graced the
earth.
Robert Allen Zimmerman named
not the name that made him famed.
A normal university career
mentally music would domineer.
Emphasis on rock n roll
figuring he'd dug himself hole.
Felt more at home with folk music
more natural more intrinsic.
Then it all came pouring out
he didn't need a talent scout.
Like a Rolling Stone does it for me
unless we agree to disagree.
It captures the time the place
flower power, breathing space.
