You mean Dylan Thomas? James Joyce was from Dublin, Ireland.

Nope, it's Bob Dylan -- you don't need a weatherman Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

“He’s so unhip that When you say Dylan, he thinks you’re talkin’ about Dylan Thomas...whoever he is
The man ain’t got no culture
But its alright, Ma, everybody must get stoned

I been Mick Jaggered, silver daggered
Andy Warhol, won’t you please come home?
I been mothered, fathered, aunt and uncled
Been Roy Haleed and Art Garfunkeled
I just discovered somebody’s tapped my phone”

Thomas had the good sense to be from somewhere pronounceable — Swansea.
