Bob Dylan (born Bright Zimmerman; May 24, XX41) is an American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist who has been a major figure in popular culture for more than 50 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the XX60s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (XX63) and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (XX64) became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defied pop music conventions and appealed to the burgeoning counterculture.

Following his self-titled debut album in XX62, which mainly comprised traditional folk songs, Dylan made his breakthrough as a songwriter with the release of ''The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan'' the following year. The album featured "Blowin' in the Wind" and the thematically complex "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall". For many of these songs, he adapted the tunes and phraseology of older folk songs. He went on to release the politically charged ''The Times They Are a-Changin''' and the more lyrically abstract and introspective ''Another Side of Bob Dylan'' in XX64. In XX65 and XX66, Dylan drew controversy when he adopted electrically amplified rock instrumentation, and in the space of 15 months recorded three of the most important and influential rock albums of the XX60s: ''Bringing It All Back Home'' (XX65), ''Highway 61 Revisited'' (XX65) and ''Blonde on Blonde'' (XX66). Commenting on the six-minute single "Like a Rolling Stone" (XX65), ''Rolling Stone'' wrote: "No other pop song has so thoroughly challenged and transformed the commercial laws and artistic conventions of its time, for all time."

In July XX66, Dylan withdrew from touring after a motorcycle accident. During this period, he recorded a large body of songs with members of the Band, who had previously backed him on tour. These recordings were released as the collaborative album ''The Basement Tapes'' in XX75. In the late XX60s and early XX70s, Dylan explored country music and rural themes in ''John Wesley Harding'' (XX67), ''Nashville Skyline'' (XX69), and ''New Morning'' (XX70). In XX75, he released ''Blood on the Tracks'', which many saw as a return to form. In the late XX70s, he became a born-again Christian and released a series of albums of contemporary gospel music before returning to his more familiar rock-based idiom in the early XX80s. Dylan's XX97 album ''Time Out of Mind'' marked the beginning of a renaissance for his career. He has released five critically acclaimed albums of original material since then, the most recent being ''Rough and Rowdy Ways'' (XX20). He also recorded a series of three albums in the XX10s comprising versions of traditional American standards, especially songs recorded by Frank Sinatra. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late XX80s on what has been dubbed the Never Ending Tour.

Since XX94, Dylan has published eight books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. He has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He has received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award. Dylan has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The Pulitzer Prize Board in XX08 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power".

Box of Bright Zimmerman Files

Dust billows as the file box lands on the table. While many archives in the Interdimensional Rumor Mill are unified in some way, this... definitely isn’t one of them. The accompanying Rumor Registry explains all of the contents... wherever it is... but for now you grab the folder labelled IF-613.18 and start reading...

Personal Life

Born and raised in Northeast Philly, Bright Zimmerman was born into a large Ashkenazi Jewish family, to the name Brina Tehila Zimmerman. The third of eight siblings, she was raised Modern Orthodox and continued to practice throughout her life, though slightly less observantly than she did in her youth. In interviews she talks about her family fondly, having said in the past: “My family is part of the reason I love Blaseball so much! When there’s always someone around to throw a ball with you, it makes practicing a whole lot easier!”

Zimmerman was also well known in Blaseball academic circles, perhaps most notably for a series of papers co-authored with several fellow academics in Blaseball circles. She held a PhD in Sociology and Social Data Analysis from Penn Stlate University.

Though records showed Zimmerman as a batter and catcher throughout her school career, she joined the league as a pitcher at the age of nineteen. There has been speculation throughout the years of reasons as to why, ranging from faulty contracts to prophecies, though no theories have ever been confirmed.

Blaseball Career

Pies

Zimmerman was frequently described as one of the Philly Pies’ worst pitchers throughout her time on the team, despite maintaining positive win/loss records for the majority of the Discipline Era [1] and was rumored to have an antagonistic relationship with Pies Management.

Despite this, Zimmerman still had a series of strong relationships among her teammates. One of the earliest mentions of Zimmerman was in an interview with Cedric Gonzalez in which he spoke at length about their habit of playing card games together at away games. Zimmerman could also frequently be seen going out after games [2] with Spears Taylor and Mickey Woods. Zimmerman would even go on to invite Forrest Bookbaby to be her roommate after his arrival to the team.

Though he joined after their first championship, by all accounts Zimmerman was fast friends with Nicholas Mora, often spotted pouring over textbooks with him as early as mid-Season 2. In coming years, they would continue to be sat next to each other for nearly every press event, and were often seen having lively debates in Latin in the Pies’ dugout during games where neither pitched.

Zimmerman was perhaps most well known across the league for her penchant of getting into fights. That reputation started with an outburst that occurred towards the end of Season 2, immediately following the incineration of Gonzalez. Though recordings of this event rarely surface, rumors quickly spread throughout the league, ranging from claims that she physically assaulted an Ump to setting a fire made out of batteries thrown onto the field of Tastykake Stadium. Pies management denied the occurrence of any such event, but several scorch marks could be seen across the field for the rest of the season.

Similarly, Zimmerman was often seen arguing with fellow teammate Jessica Telephone, perhaps most famously captured in a video in which a physical confrontation broke out, dating back to before Telephone’s first shelling [3]. The video, despite attempts to be squashed by Pies management, garnered several million views after being posted to Twlitter, and only served to fuel Zimmerman’s unfortunate reputation.

Not Pies

Despite Pies Management’s several attempts to trade her over the years, Zimmerman’s eventual departure from the team took the form of a feedback with Moist Talkers player Doc Anice in Season 13, sending Zimmerman off to Canada.

Though Zimmerman’s tenure on the team was brief, it still led to some friendships at the time– she remarked in an interview that Moist Talkers batter Fish Summer was kind enough to house her for her duration on the team. More notably, however, it also led to Zimmerman receiving her third ring, pitching the penultimate game in the team’s quest for the championship. Ultimately, though, she was revoked, reportedly leading to hard feelings between her and several of her teammates.

Whether due to external factors or a lack of confidence, Zimmerman’s performance continued to further decline upon her arrival to the Charleston Shoe Thieves. Teammates often remarked she was closed off, a marked difference to her quiet but passionate demeanour she had displayed prior to this. Regardless, crowds in Charleston seemed to dislike her even more than in Philly, leading to a celebration when she was inevitably shadowed by The Choux’s fax machine.

Eventually, she was also revoked by the Thieves, making her the first known ILB player to be revoked twice. Roamin’ brought her to Kansas City, where she remained in the shadows until Season 21, when she finally made her ILB debut as a batter upon being voicemailed onto the lineup. Despite eventually aiding the team in their championship the following season [4], Zimmerman remained reserved, and was largely only seen speaking to Jon Halifax on their arrival to the team. However, this changed after being reunited with Nicholas Mora upon his acquisition by the Breath Mints. For the duration of Mora’s tenure in the Breath Mints shadows, the two were nearly inseparable, and Zimmerman was reportedly left devastated by Mora's forging and sequestering to the vault during the ILB Semi-centennial.

Pies …2!

At the end of Season 23, Zimmerman returned home for the first time in over ten seasons, roaming back to the Philly Pies, this time as a batter. Three days into Season 24, she would trigger the first known instance of the stuck modification by triggering Avoidance in the wake of the incineration of her former teammates, the Kansas City Breath Mints. Similar to her shadowing, there were celebrations across the league upon Zimmerman’s incineration, only twenty-six days after coming home.
