Bob Dylan, The Avid Chess Player, Has Also Made Nobel Prize-Winning Music
Bob Dylan, born on this date (May 24) in 1941, is well known for his impact on pop culture. His music and lyrics have had profound political, social, philosophical, and literary influences during a career that has spanned more than 60 years. Often overlooked is what an avid chess player he has been.
