Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan...
I wasn't interested in the 1960's folk music scene and too young for the coffee-house crowd. I knew who Bob Dylan was and knew he was an influence to the musicians I listened to, but I didn't listen to his music directly.Dylan has been a major figure in the popular music culture for more than 70 years.
My friends used to make fun of his voice and how Tom Petty with a similar likeness, could have been his son. There was a funny skit on Saturday Night Live about that.
It wasn't until a generation ago that I started listening to some of Dylan's songs. Yes, never too late. He's 82 years old now and had gone through health issues, some related to drugs, financial trouble and he keeps on rolling along.
The video is one of my favorites. It's from a concert in Madison Square Garden with a stage full of musical greats.

I believe there were a few Saturday Night Live comedy skits about Dylan and Petty. Here's one of them.
Please re-post your video.
reprising the deleted comment. Dylan Robertson and the Band.
They had such a ball at this concert
So many of his songs are timeless..
