Dylan was very important in the civil rights movement, singing together at the March on Washington on August 28, 1963

On July 29, 1966, the brakes on Dylan's motorcycle locked on a road near his home, throwing him to the ground. Though the importance of his injuries were never fully public importance , Dylan said that he broke several vertebrae in his neck. Mystery isn´t still clear since because no ambulance was called to the scene and Dylan was not hospitalized.

In my opinion Bob Dylan has been and is successful because his lyrics are against the government .His fans liked more his point of view than his music so we can say that bob Dylan´s music in not commercial.
