Bob Dylan Fast Facts:
  • Shocked fans by "going electric" in the mid-'60s, drawing boos at concerts. When a fan at an event in England called him "Judas," he responded by leading his band into an earsplitting "Like a Rolling Stone," his groundbreaking 1965 single that Rolling Stone magazine named the greatest rock song of all time.
  • The sequence of him flipping lyric cards of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" in the 1967 documentary Don't Look Back is considered a precursor to the modern music video.
  • Recipient of a Lifetime Grammy Award at the 1991 ceremony and a Kennedy Center Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997.
  • Won three Grammy Awards for his Time Out of Mind CD at the 1998 ceremony, while his son Jakob Dylan won a songwriting Grammy for the Wallflowers' hit "One Headlight."
