In reply to the discussion: Police won't charge George Zimmerman for alleged furniture theft [View all]Shampoobra
(423 posts)42. Bob Dylan must have seen this coming, over 50 years ago
Changed his name from Bob Zimmerman to Bob Dylan:
What does the word "destiny" mean to Dylan?
"It's a feeling you have that you know something about yourself - nobody else does - the picture you have in your mind of what you're about will come true," says Dylan. "It's kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it's a fragile feeling. And if you put it out there, somebody will kill it. So, it's best to keep that all inside."
When Bradley asked Dylan why he changed his name from Robert Zimmerman, he said that was destiny, too. "Some people you're born, you know, the wrong names, wrong parents. I mean, that happens," says Dylan. "You call yourself what you want to call yourself. This is the land of the free."
