If you remember, this is exactly the attitude of the "Extraverted Intuitive type" in Carl Jung's book. Jung wrote that, the Ne dominants often have trouble finding and sticking with a single identity. He said that their personal appearance was always changing, chasing after ever new possibility and opportunity without taking the time to soak up what they have right in front of him.
i've looked into jung's description of extroverted intuitive type and couldn't find anything about change of personas. he went on at length about seizing opportunities and that Ne favors women enduing them with the ability to grasp at every social opportunity and make all the right social connections in groups, including going after men with open opportunities. nothing on the subject of melding their identities to gain attention.

the one instance of Bob Dylan's approach of personality remakes and attention whoring was included in the enneagram triads:

The Feeling Triad: Types 2, 3, 4.
The three types of the Feeling Triad are primarily concerned with the development of a self-image. They compensate for a lack of deeper connection with the Essential qualities of the heart by erecting a false identity and becoming identified with it. They then present this image to others (as well as to themselves) in the hope that it will attract love, attention, approval, and a sense of value.
