Happy Belated Birthday, Bob Dylan!

Let’s keep it sim­ple. Bob Dylan, the only singer and song­writer who has won the Nobel Prize for Lit­er­a­ture, turned 80 on May 24^th. We would be sur­prised if you couldn’t name at least one of his songs.

The Amer­i­can Stud­ies Blog decid­ed to hon­or him not with a list of his numer­ous achieve­ments, awards, and fun facts as oth­ers have already done that for us. Instead, we want to share a bit of his music that con­tin­ues to inspire new generations.
