Bob Dylan’s grandson joins offspring raging against the machine
YOUNG PABLO DYLAN has a very famous lineage – but he’s determined to do it on his own, as a rapper.
We learned this week that the 15 year old’s debut single has appeared online, and The Guardian quotes the artist as saying his grandfather ‘feels strongly’ about his music. Which way the elder Dylan’s feelings lie on the subject isn’t yet clear.
