   Of course, there's considerable irony in the fact that Bob Dylan's name
   isn't Bob Dylan.  It's Bob Zimmermann, and he took the Dylan moniker
   from the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas (which is why one freebie Dylan
   implementation is named Thomas).

   In fact, it's interesting to me that _all_ of the references I've seen
   to a person have been to the original Dylan (Thomas) rather than to
   Bob!

Jonathon Bachrach was working on a Dylan implementation named
Zimmerman.  There's also the "Marlais" implementation, which in my
twisted mind comes from the transformation Bob Dylan -> Bob Marly ->
Marly -> Marlais.
