WALLFLOWER MUSIC:

IF YOU'VE BEEN FRANTICALLY SEARCHING FOR THE MUSIC AND GUITAR CHORDS FOR A COUPLE W.F. SONGS, CHECK OUT THE CURRENT ISSUES OF THE "GUITAR" MAGAZINES…SUPPOSEDLY, THEY HOLD THE MUSIC NOTES TO "ONE HEADLIGHT" AND "BLEEDERS". ONE OF THE MAGAZINES HAS A PICTURE OF THE OLD GROUP IN IT. (courtesy: Alex)

THE SAGA OF JAKOB DYLANOLOGY CONT…

APPARENTLY, THE PAGES TITLED, "JAKOB DYLANOLOGY", WHERE THE WRITER SAYS THAT JAKE IS ON HEROIN AND HIS SONGS ARE ALL ABOUT HIS DISTANT RELATIONSHIP TO HIS FATHER, STEM OUT OF A PAGE ABOUT BOB DYLAN. THE AUTHOR OF THESE CLAIMS WAS OBSESSED WITH DYLAN IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS. BOB REPEATEDLY KICKED HIM OFF HIS PORCH AS HE WOULD COME BY TO VISIT OFTEN. TO REALLY LET YOU KNOW WHAT A FOOL THIS GUY IS, HE USED TO DIG THROUGH BOB AND SARAH'S GARBAGE CAN, READING THEIR OLD MAIL, NOTES, AND OTHER VARIOUS JUNK. AT ONE POINT BOB AND SARAH BOTH PHYSICALLY GOT IN A FIGHT WITH THE GUY. TO CHECK THIS STUFF OUT, DIG THROUGH THE DYLANOLOGY PAGES TO FIND THIS HIDDEN PAST. (courtesy: BethJ)

JAKOB'S ORIGIN

WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF THE PAST, HERE'S WHAT EVERYONE CAME UP WITH FOR THE ORIGIN OF JAKE'S ETHNIC HERITAGE. (I KNOW LOTS OF YOU ARE TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT ONLY JAKE AND THE DYLAN FAMILY, SO DEAL WITH IT OR SKIP THIS PART!)

AS FOR THE REAL TRUTH, A LOVELY PERSON SENT IN SOME RESEARCH THEY CAME APON:

1902: FALL, Benjamin Herold Edelstein and his wife, Lyba, and their children, moved from Lithuainia to Hibbing, MN. The oldest daughter was Florence who is Jakob's great-grandmother.

1907: Zigmar Zimmerman and his wife, Amy, and two children came to Duluth, MN from Odessa Russia.

1911: Oct. 19, Amy Zimmerman gives birth to her sixth child. Names him Abraham H. Zimmerman

1915: Florence Edelstein gives birth to the third of four children and names her Beatrice.

1934: Abraham and Beatrice marry in Duluth.

1940: Shirley Noznisky is born on Nov. 1. She later changes her name to Sara Lowndes.

1941: May 24, Robert Allen Zimmerman was born to Beatrice and Abraham at St. Mary's hospital in Duluth. He later changes his name to Bob Dylan. (May have been after one of his uncles).

1946: David, Bob's younger brother was born.

1965: In May, Bob and Sara meet. They marry later that year on November 22.

October 16, 1969 (or so we think): Jakob is born to Bob and Sarah as their youngest child. (courtesy: Silvia)

*DID YOU ALL FOLLOW THAT?! JUST SO YOU KNOW…YOU WERE ALL WRONG!

WALLFLOWERS ON MTV UNPLUGGED!

There is word that the boys have allready shot an MTV (or in Jakob's words: music television) unplugged concert or are doing so today, May 5th. MTV lists an unplugged show, Tuesday, May 6th at 8:00 so watch for that tomorrow. You just may turn on the t.v. to Rami's puppet dance, a Mario drum solo, polka-dot shirt wearing Greg, Michael's craziness, and Jakob's warm sandpapery voice crooning out melodic poems. (courtesy: Sharon, Laurie, and whoever else told me!J)

~~~BOB DYLAN'S SONG: "FOREVER YOUNG", WAS REPORTEDLY INSPIRED BY JAKOB.~~~
