On this day in 2016, singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."
Before he was an internationally acclaimed musician, at the very beginning of his career, Dylan spent several months in the winter and spring of 1960-61 on the campus of UW Madison. He couchsurfed around the apartments of student musicians, mostly friends of friends from his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota and his brief stint at the U of M in Minneapolis. He immersed himself in the local music scene, but most of the Madison crowd were highly politically active, and Dylan was not as involved, nor was he a completely welcome guest - he developed a reputation for playing his guitar and singing long after it was clear his hosts wanted to change activities - or go to bed. From a Madison Magazine article about his time in the city:
At one of the many social gatherings with this rotating cast of students, Dylan briefly mingled with partygoers, but his true comfort zone was music, so he soon settled on a couch with his guitar and began to play. Most attendees were more interested in talking politics, so they subtly distanced themselves from him." Eventually, one partygoer exasperatedly reproached Dylan: “Would you put that damn guitar away already? Nobody wants to hear you anymore!”
Bob Dylan, pictured here performing in Greenwich Village in 1961, gave similar performances in Madison during his time here.
Dylan played at various small venues up and down State Street and eventually saved up enough money to hitchhike out to New Jersey to visit his idol, Woodie Guthrie, who was hospitalized with what was later diagnosed as Huntington's disease. He swung back through Madison that spring on his way home before eventually making his way back to New York, where he signed with Columbia Records. His next stops in Madison would be on tour. He was soon filling venues the size of the Dane County Coliseum (now the Alliant Energy Center).
Prior to his 1978 performance at the Dane County Coliseum, mayor Paul Soglin gave Dylan a key to the city.
UW Madison has many Nobel Laureates, and though we don't count Dylan among our alumni, it's safe to say the university had an influence on his career.
