Seventy years ago Tuesday in Duluth, Minn., Robert Zimmerman was born. He grew up a little north of there in the town of Hibbing. While still in his teens, he moved to New York City. Under the name Bob Dylan, he's been writing and singing songs ever since.
Dylan's career has no parallel in American history. He's still out there, turning out new songs, while his older work still speaks to us. The occasion of his 70th birthday offers an excellent excuse to wish him well — and to celebrate the music of his past, present and future.
