While countless fans would do just about anything to see Bob Dylan<\/strong> live in a small, intimate setting, one of the iconic musician’s captive audiences definitely didn’t appreciate having the chance to witness his genius up close.<\/p>\n In 2007, a group of kindergarteners got their first taste of Dylan’s music when the Grammy-winning legend paid a series of visits to their Calabasas, Calif. classroom to play some acoustic tunes. This wasn’t just any kindergarten class \u2014 Dylan’s grandson, the child of his youngest son, Jakob Dylan<\/strong>, was a student at the school \u2014 but that apparently didn’t help to prepare them for the experience.<\/p>\n As a source told the\u00a0celebrity.land\u00a0at the time, \u201cThe kids have been coming home and telling their parents about the weird man who keeps coming to class to sing scary songs on his guitar,” per Far Out Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s been visiting the school just for fun, but the kids don\u2019t appreciate they are in the presence of a musical legend. They just think of him as the weird guitar guy,” the source continued.<\/p>\n While Dylan’s kindergarten concerts clearly weren’t all that kid-friendly, as a father of six, the singer-songwriter has plenty of experience with little ones. He shares five children \u2014 Maria<\/strong>, Jesse<\/strong>, Anna<\/strong>, Sam<\/strong> and Jakob<\/strong> \u2014 with his ex-wife Sara Lownds<\/strong> and one daughter, Desiree<\/strong>, with his ex-wife Carolyn Dennis<\/strong>, according to People<\/a>.<\/p>\n Though Dylan’s family tends to be private, Jakob opened up about his early years as Dylan’s son in 2000, telling the Los Angeles Times<\/a>, \u201cI know people have this image of how rough it is growing up in a famous family. But it really didn\u2019t seem that big a deal at the time. I had friends. I had a home. I had a family.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2005, Jakob praised his father’s parenting skills in an interview with\u00a0The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons,\u201d he said. \u201cHe never missed a single Little League game I had. He\u2019s collected every home run ball I ever hit. And he\u2019s still affectionate to me.\u201d<\/p>\n While it’s not clear which of Jakob’s children was in the aforementioned kindergarten class, he shares four sons with his wife Paige<\/strong>. As of 2017, his son Levi<\/strong> was working as a model, according to TIME<\/a>, walking the Dolce & Gabbana runway alongside other children of celebrities including Rafferty Law<\/strong> (son of Jude Law<\/strong>), Presley Gerber<\/strong> (son of Cindy Crawford<\/strong>) and Brandon Lee<\/strong> (son of Tommy Lee<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Related: Science Says This Bob Dylan Classic Is the Best Song Ever<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 27, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
