I guess you kind of had to have been there…..
From Crossing the Rubicon2:
Overheard
In the coffee room of Powell’s bookstore, three teenage boys with spiky hair and skateboards were reading Interview magazine and discussing the current music scene. The conversation turned to Robert Zimmerman, a.k.a. Bob Dylan.
Said one: “I don’t get why he changed his name from Zimmerman. All the coolest guys I know are named Zimmerman.”
His friend: “Yeah, when I grow up I’m gonna change my name to Zimmerman.”
