Levi Dylan, Bob Dylan's grandson, is a model.

Very cute.

More here, from last summer:
“I gave up on music,” he told the Cut at the Cinema Society’s post-screening party for Southside With You on Wednesday, standing in a courtyard outside Harold’s Meat + Three. “I still love to play, but it’s too hard to make a living. And I think that was a mature decision to make.”
His girlfriend got him into modeling: “She kind of set me up, and from there it was sort of like dominoes.”

He's got "DYLAN" tattooed on his forearm.

Brandèd. Literally.

I guess he won't forget his name.

I thought Bob Dylan was a stage name. I assumed that all the recording contracts, and children would be in the name of Zimmerman.

You need to have an ear for music. I stopped playing guitar because I couldn't hear that Keith Richards was playing with an open-G tuning. I didn't have the ear for it, and I couldn't play "Midnight Rambler".

Maybe they are. Levi is on stage too. Who knows how he signs legal documents?

Ann, less than a year from now you will be embarrassed that you did not write one post critical of Bob Dylan while he was being awarded the Nobel Prize in 2016.

But what a great first name...

Multiple internet sources claim Dylan legally changed his name on August 9, 1962. As such, his kids likely have no formal or legal connection to the name Zimmerman. I also have a vague recollection that police verified he was Bob Dylan, precisely, by looking at his passport when he was arrested mistakenly several years ago.

Snark:

Arrested? What's the story?

He looks like the perfect hybrid of Bob and Elvis. They could've skipped a step if only...

It's hard to make a living in modeling too. Being Bob Dylan's grandson helps a lot.

@ David Begley A few years ago somebody called the police because a 'suspicious' older person was wandering around a neighbourhood in the rain on Long Island or in New Jersey or somewhere around there. The police came and detained him, initially not believing that he was Bob Dylan as he claimed. He had to eventually take them back to his tour stop and find people and documents to vouch that he was who he said he was.

You set me up with a page with an autoplay video. That's the first time I've heard the first 5 notes of the Entertainment Tonight theme in at least 20 years! You owe me.

So it's true then that fan girls never retire. That's cute.

Could be worse though. Could be Ozzie.

I'm pretty sure he changed it legally to Dylan in the 60's as did his wife at the time Sara. I'm sure there's public legal documents showing that.
