Bob Dylan (Milton Glasser)
May 24th 2011 is Bob Dylan’s 70th birthday
The bard of the 60s is turning 70 this month on May 24th, 2011.
The composer of Blowin in the Wind and Like A Rolling Stone has proven to be one of the most enduring artists of the 1960s.
Help celebrate the day by doing something for his birthday.
Record a song. Recite one of his poems. Do a card or poster. Post a video on YouTube or wherever you like.
Send us the link and we’ll post them all. Every single one you send.
After all the guy has written more than 500 songs. He tours and performs more than 100 times a year, all over the world.
We’ll send him a few birthday cards. Should be fun.

Someone should have a costume party where everyone comes as a character out of a Dylan song. The songs, then, will come to life.

BOB, Absolutely aDoor heavens forever lure.
Happy Happy Happy Birthday love
In a world of mice and men, where history finds looks so lost and yet profound
In a world of kings and queens, where royalty wins most certainly lose,
In a world of have and knots, Gods silent whispering, most often is muffles at such a cost
I cry, I cry, I cry, to you,
with the trees, my unheard singing, in clouds, agony screams, dreams, now allow.
In a world, up, down, in, out, mixing mice mixing men, I cry, i find, this for You, BOB DYLAN, This sound, a heart beat, pounding, for one great sound, I know, for one great sound I need, for a great sound, living, hoping, loving, a world, where, what, hurts, cracks and breaks, this mine, in this Yours, land of wander and shore. Happy Birthday awe my mine, xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxxxoooxxooxox

To Bob Dylan,
I hope somehow you might see this one your birthday
From a fellow dreamer…
May 24, 19forty-one
Before we entered the war
Before the battle was won
Before the bomb was dropped
And the people flocked
To sound of your voice
And the words you dropped
Dripped, drizzled, and shocked
As you typed and strummed
Sang, dazzled and won
Many a maiden was stunned
And ignorance was stung
As your ballad made men
Lay down their guns
For they’d rather hear
A man drunk with ideas
And to this they clung
Now there are fools who will wonder
If you’re getting to old
If your mind is numb
Or your heart is cold
Man I tell you these junkies
Just need to be told
That a true troubadour
Will never be sold
Will never be lulled,
Tripped, trapped, tired or tolled
But they never feel whole
And will feed off your soul
As you wander the unknown
Aimless of a petty goal
You will roam and explore
The depths of the void
With no distance or path or map to employ
With only the sun on your face to enjoy
You try to return to your time as a boy
Take the pain of your barriers
The chains of your carriers
The sick mentality of those
‘more the merrier’
Know you’ll always be one
And it can’t be undone
Know matter the group
No matter the fun
And every new day
As your curls turn gray
You grow forever wiser
And younger and proceed to play
For the flocks have grown
And they need you to stay
And continue to inspire
The tears that they require
From the lyrics they hire
To spark a new fire
And from rose thorns they’ll bleed
As you strum, sing, or speak
And until you finally sleep
They’ll know its not over…
Stephen Pate
Awesome work
