Tbyargeon is the Wikipedia username of Travis Byargeon. Travis was born on December 17th 1986 in Houston, Texas. At the age of fourteen, Travis hitch hiked across the United States. He ended up in Washington D.C., and was a strong sociological influence on Bob Dylan. He now resides with his wife and children in Saskatchewan. In his free time he is the musher of a professional dog sledding team. Byargeon was a key influence in changing Dylan's political views in the early 2000's. These views are expressed in Dylan's albums during this time. Dylan admired Byargeon's individualism and insight commenting "Trav reminds me of a post-mondern bohemian beatnick. He split the suburbia scene when he was just a kid and hitch hiked around the U.S.  During that time he developed a true sense of the forces impacting his generation.  He is the voice of his generation.  That's what drew me to him.  I met him in D.C.  We had just finished a concert and went backstage to change before heading to our hotel.  This kid approaches me, not for an autograph, but to let me know that he digs my old tunes.  He goes on to tell me that time changes us all and that it is evident in my music.  I said thanks kid and he says don't thank me, I didn't mean it as a complement.  He goes on to tell me that I lost my roots, lost my soul somewhere along the way. That even the voice of a generation, a rebel, all, finally conform to society over time. He was right. I later found out that he was on his own, a drifter. I invited him to join us on the rest of the tour. He accepted. During those days he began to open my eyes to the mind and soul of his generation."
