July 20, 1965 - Bob Dylan rocks the world

Postby WebbPA » Sat Aug 21, 2010 1:36 am

How did we miss the 45th anniversary release of the greatest rock and roll song ever?

Like A Rolling Stone

"Like a Rolling Stone" is a 1965 rock song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan ...

According to Shaun Considine, release coordinator for Columbia Records in 1965, "Like a Rolling Stone" was first relegated to the "graveyard of canceled releases" because of concerns from the sales and marketing departments over its unprecedented six-minute length and "raucous" rock sound ...

The song had a huge impact on Bruce Springsteen, who was 15 years old when he first heard it ...

Dylan's contemporaries in 1965 were both startled and challenged by the single. Paul McCartney remembered going around to John Lennon's house in Weybridge

Hmmn... shouldn't this be in the Entertainment section. As historical as it is, it rather gave no direction known...
so, it seems, we must keep on searcing.
