Is that supposed to be a Bob quote? We do indeed create who we show to others, and I'm sure back in the early 60's all the musicians were creating their images. Some of them still hold on to those images, hairstyles, clothing, and such as if they didn't show themselves that way we wouldn't know them. Bob was always evolving himself, expanding his image, not getting tied down or put into a box.

good morning pb.,

are you suggesting "iterations" through which he reaches us, as a medium for "bob dylan, the artist," as though "bob dylan," is the messenger, and zimmy is just the conduit he uses to deliver it to the world?

more recently, though, he has staked his claim to his fate, seemingly coming to terms with his identity, and clarifying it for the public, but also more for himself, i believe, "i am bob dylan...." and separately sharing, as well, that he is the narrator, "i," in the recent years of modbob, since TOOM ?

Well, when Bob was involved with Albert Grossman, there seemed to be some definitive changes...
Initially, the Scruffy Folk Singer
Then the Heroin Waif
Then the Family Man
after that, we had...
the Wounded Divorce...
Elmer Gantry
and briefly, a Zionist...
and then things seemed to mellow out...

I know Dylan sang:

"He not busy being born is busy dying."
