Bob Dylan (Nobel)

Bob Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman, is celebrated as one of the greatest American songwriters in the annuls of music history and recipient of the Nobel Prize In Literature . Raised in a close knit Jewish community in Duluth, Minnesota, he relocated to Hibbing, his mother's home town, after his father was diagnosed with polio when Bob was a mere six years old. He initially cut his teeth on blues and country, but later embraced rock and roll while in high school. Bob eventually dropped out of college to pursue his musical goals within "folk music". He gained prominence as rebel protest singer in the 1960s, but slowed down a bit in the 1970s after an accident on his Triumph Bonneville motorcycle and responsibilities of family life. Approaching the age of 40, Dylan made his own Christian Decision, taking five months off to attend Bible School. He noted his Christian awakening as follows: “Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'Bob, why are you resisting me?' I said, 'I'm not resisting You!' He said, 'You gonna follow Me?' I said, 'I've never thought about that before!' He said, 'When you're not following Me. you're resisting Me.” Are you resisting Jesus?
