Do you know why he changed his name?

@Jenny1234 In his book, Chronicles, Dylan explained that he was inspired to change his name after he saw an article about jazz performer David Allyn and later some poems by Dylan Thomas.
He considered the names Robert Allyn and Robert Dylan, before finally deciding on Bob Dylan.

@Gusman There was another story that he loved Matt Dillon in the TV Series "Gunsmoke" 🤣
