The 1960's folk music hero has become a legend in his own right, having inspired so many musicians, artists, poets and in-betweens for more than five decades. He began his music career as a solo musician, whose evocative lyrics surpassed an unusual singing voice and secured his songs as anthems for several political movements around the US.
His personal style has also gained significance in the world of fashion and pop culture. From being photographed by Richard Avedon to being portrayed by some of Hollywoods biggest stars (such as Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett), his unique personality and legendary path have made him a true icon.
It comes as no surprise that bands like Kings of Leon, Slash and Arcade Fire are among the musicians who have been paying tribute to Mr. Dylan on his 70th birthday. So, I guess we can try to do the same.
