International DJ Stevie George can be found entertaining the masses at Muju Lounge on Amwaj Island and many other places around Bahrain.

Isn't it strange when you have a random conversation with someone who throws in a little gem now and again, and it happened to me this week when I was reminded that Bob Dylan will be 70 later this month.

Famed for controversial lyrics in his songs along with some very strange answers to journalists questions over the years only adds to Mr Dylan's appeal.

Born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Minnesota, he would sometimes perform under such names as Elston Gunn, Jack Frost and Sergei Petrov.

For the younger readers, Bob Dylan is also an accomplished poet and painter, and most of you will certainly be trawling the 'Inter-Web-Highway' for snippets of his classic tunes. Here are a few suggestions to help you on your way:

Knockin' on Heaven's Door was originally written for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. A timeless classic that may well be better known for performances by Eric Clapton or even the very powerful version by Guns 'n' Roses.

Blowin' in the Wind was described by many as a protest song as it poses a series of questions about peace, war and freedom. The first line of the song (How many roads must a man walk down?) conjures up a very powerful image and sets the tone for the rest of the song.

Mr. Tambourine Man is usually better associated with The Byrds who took the song to number one on both sides of the Atlantic, but lesser known is the fact that Alvin and The Chipmunks also did a version back in 1965, plus William 'Captain James T Kirk' Shatner did a spoken version too.

My personal Bob Dylan favourite is not down to the song but the music video that accompanied it - Subterranean Homesick Blues - was used in what became one of the first modern promotional film clips, the forerunner of what later became known as the music video. In the film, Dylan came up with the idea of holding cue cards for the audience, with selected words and phrases from the lyrics and was shot in an alley behind the Savoy Hotel in London. A version of this video was also used in 2010 to help launch Google Instant, whereby the lyrics of the song generated search engine results pages.

Also definitely check out Like A Rolling Stone, All Along The Watchtower, The Times They Are A-Changing and Lay Lady Lay.

I was also asked if I knew of any Bob Dylan remixes, so the challenge was on to find some newer versions of classic Bob Dylan tracks - and it took me a while to remember who had produced this but Mark Ronson's 2009 version of Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine) song was so well received on its first airplay in the UK that Radio 1 actually played it twice in the same show after listeners deluged the phone lines with requests.

Have a great week boys and girls and remember - good judgment comes from bad experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
