Labels:text | human face | person | letter OCR: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Dylan, Bob Bob Dylan Bob Dylan emerged from the New York folk music scene in the 1960s and broke new ground by combining early folk styles with contemporary rock music. Along with his onetime lover Joan Baez, Dylan became the protest voice of a generation, writing songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right." Dylan hit the news headlines in 1965 when he played electric guitar at the Newport Folk Festival - and was loudly booed. Folk song purists felt he had turned his back on the emerging protest movement. But with new songs like "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Like a Rolling Stone" steeped in poetic, surreal imagery, he kept his fans, including serious-minded pop "Dylanologists." Classic albums such as "Highway 61 Bob Dylan, U.S. singer and Revisited" (1965), "Blonde on Blonde" (1966), songwriter, 1941 - and "John Wesley Harding" (1967) followed. In 1979 Dylan became a born-again Christian, but returned to the Jewish faith in the 1980s. In the 1990s, he continued to perform the earlier songs, which rate among the most influential of popular music. CHRONOLOGY
