like if you live in minnesota it seems like if you're any kind of writer or musician you are going to inevitably be talking about bob dylan a lot

because he's minnesotan

and because he's bob dylan

is there any famous person from where you live that comes up in conversation too much? like any artist of some sort that has a huge influence on the area's culture?

because seriously it gets a little tiring hearing about bob dylan so much. goddamn zimmophiles. but i'm kind of one of them too so its ok.

Bob Dylan doesn't come up very often in Minnesota, at least not in my experience. If there is a musician that comes up too often in Minnesota it is Prince.

the best part of Purple Rain was when Prince's dad punched him in the face.

Also, Thomas Wolfe is mentioned a lot by the town officials, though I haven't met anyone who has actually read anything of his.

As much time as I've spent at first ave over the years, I've never actually seen that movie. I now feel the desire to watch it.

well he spent a lot of time in the twin cities and was a huge part of the whole dinkytown folk music circuit and such and wait i'm sure you already know all of this by now

but yeah i think the range associates itself with him too

but i hear he's never showed up for Dylan Days in Hibbing

Hibbing


I have a tremendous want to visit Hibbing. Alone. And slowly. Preferably in that time of year when snow is just melting and the ground if perpetually wet and it is chilly but sunny and the whole earth is glorious. I want to see the moon.

you should keep posting things like that, it helps me appreciate this state more n_u

for the longest time i would always say i hate living here. i do not think this is so anymore, but there are still some parts that majorly suck about living in RURAL minnesota. there are perks though.
