However, you would not know that he was Jewish. To many of Dylan''s biographers, his early denial of his Jewish roots is hard to understand but for Harry Freedman it is the key to grasping how this complete unknown burst onto the scene and reinvented not only himself, but popular music. It is this instinct for escape and reinvention that has defined Dylan''s long career - and it all began in 1961 when he got on a bus a
