Doğum gününü tebrik ederim, Bob Dylan!

Bob Dylan hat seine Wurzeln in der Türkei. Die englischsprachige Wikipedia schreibt über seinen familiären Ursprung:

His grandparents were Jewish immigrants from present-day Turkey and Russia. In his 2004 autobiography, Chronicles, he wrote that his paternal grandmother’s maiden name was Kirghiz and her family originated from Istanbul, although she grew up in the Kağızman district of Kars in Eastern Turkey. His paternal grandfather was from Trabzon on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. His paternal grandparents sailed from Trabzon to the Black Sea port of Odessa in Ukraine from where they took off to emigrate to America.

Alter Türke! Wer hätte das gedacht? Mein Vater und seine Familie stammten übrigens auch aus Trabzon am östlichen Ende des Schwarzen Meeres in grenznähe zu Georgien. Dein Türkisch ist sicher etwas eingerostet, Bob. Ich übersetze mal die Titelzeile: „Ich gratuliere dir zum Geburtstag!“.
