Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on 24 May 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and poet. He is one of America's most highly regarded songwriters, whose enduring contributions to American music are comparable to those of Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Woody Guthrie, and Hank Williams. Much of Dylan's best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Many involved in the anti-war and civil rights movements found a ...

World War III is the name given to a hypothetical world war that would be fought after World War II. Most usages of the term include the use of weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons. In the latter half of the 20th century, military confrontation between the superpowers was considered to pose an extreme threat to establishing world peace, when the Cold War saw the capitalist United States face the communist Soviet Union. If this confrontation had escalated into full-scale war, it was widely thought that the conflic ...

Critics and the general public barely took notice of Dylan's debut album, which sold roughly five thousand copies after the first year. For an album recorded by an unknown artist in a less-than-popular genre, it would've have been a major surprise, much less unusually poor. However, with John Hammond's support and reputation, expectations were higher, and as Dylan's debut disappeared from the industry charts, it was clear that Hammond's reputation was now tied to Dylan's. Prestige Records had expressed an interest in Dylan, seeing the most potential in Dylan's growing songwriting skills, but Hammond was det ...

A vast post-apocalyptic science fiction literature exists describing the likely aftermath of either, describing the impact of weapons of mass destruction. None of it describes a very happy world. Many science fiction works are also set in a far future in which a WWIII-type conflict is a historical event. The genre of post-apocalyptic science fiction often uses post-World War III scenarios. Such stories were found mostly in Western science fiction publications; Soviet writers were discouraged from writing them. ...

Bob Dylan - Beginnings. Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, on the extreme western shore of Lake Superior. His grandparents were Jewish emigrants from Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine, and his parents, Abraham Zimmerman and Beatric Stone (Beatty), were part of the area's small but close-knit Jewish community. He lived in Duluth until age seven, when his father was stricken with polio. The family returned to nearby Hibbing, Beatty's hom ...

Before revising The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, Dylan performed a major show at New York's Town Hall. "Though he failed to sell out all nine hundred seats, even a three-quarters-full Town Hall was a remarkable achievement given that his groundbreaking second album had yet to be released, his first album had bombed, and less than eighteen months earlier he could hardly find fifty people to turn up at Carnegie Recital Hall to hear him perform," writes Clinton Heylin. Dylan performed no songs from his debut and only two songs that would appe ...

The term Gigadeath War, first used by Hugo De Garis, described a confrontation not between nations or religions but between Terrans and Cosmists, determined respectively to resist or advance artilect ("artificial intelligence" on a godlike scale) evolution beyond humans — a "technological singularity" out of human control. This is not an isolated concept — apocalypse literature throughout the late 20th century emphasized lack of human control over wa ...

Sheet music for "Talkin' John Birch Society Blues" first appeared in the debut issue of Broadside magazine in late February of 1962. Conceived by Pete Seeger and Agnes 'Sid' Cunningham, Broadside was a magazine dedicated to publishing contemporary folk songs. Dylan was introduced to Cunningham through Seeger, and during his first meeting with Cunningham, Dylan played her the song. A wry but humorous satire that also worked as a scathing portrayal of right-wing paranoia, it would be the fi ...

In an interview taken in 2000, Van Morrison recalled The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan: "I think I heard it in a record shop in Smith Street. And I just thought it was incredible that this guy's not singing about 'moon in June' and he's getting away with it. That's what I thought at the time. The subject matter wasn't pop songs, ya know, and I thought this kind of opens the whole thing up...Dylan put it into the mainstream that this could be done." "Blowin' in the Wind" is arguably Dylan's most famous composition, certainly the one co ...

When asked what kind of weapons World War III would be fought with, Albert Einstein replied: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Not all scenarios for World War III have begun with the use of nuclear weapons. Operation DROPSHOT, a since-declassified U.S. plan, written in 1947, assumed a long period of conventional war between NATO and the Soviet Union before any nuclear weapons would be employed by both sides. The standard NATO ...

After a lengthy delay, October 2004 saw the publishing of Bob Dylan's autobiography, Chronicles, Vol. 1. He once again confounded expectations. Dylan wrote three chapters about the year between his arrival in New York City in 1961 and recording his first album. Dylan focused on the brief period before he was a household name, while virtually ignoring the mid-1960s when his fame was at its height. He also devoted chapters to two lesser-known albums, New Morning (1970) and Oh Mercy (1989), which contained insights into his ...
