CULCHA

Bob Dylan at 70

For most of his life he’s been lightning rod, barometer and seismograph of a culture, in spite of himself, and he’s left a musical legacy that will resonate forever. And he’s still on the road. Rock’s great fabulist, rock’s Picasso, the self-described “song and dance man” who tapped the collective unconscious and changed the terms of our engagement with modern life was born Robert Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minn., 70 years ago. And he’s younger than that now.
