Greil Marcus''s popular appreciation of his, and Bob Dylan''s,
favorite song--a book that Rolling Stone called "essential
insight into the living history of rock roll."
Greil Marcus has written the definitive biography of the
greatest pop single ever made. Recorded in Columbia''s Studio A in
New York on 16 June 1965, "Like A Rolling Stone" was instantly of
its time-and so strong it has escaped time altogether. The
musicians gathered in the studio never managed a second successful
recording: they caught it once and only once. Then it was gone,
arguably never to be bettered in Bob Dylan''s countless live
performances of the song.
Dylan''s career as a folk singer--and the career imposed upon
him, his unwanted role as "voice of a generation"--had hit a wall.
Marcus recreates the brilliantly competitive pop world of 1965, and
the energy, the anger, the thrill and the horror that Bob Dylan
turned into a revolutionary six-minute single. Forty years later it
remains the signal accomplishment of modern music. It drew to
itself disparate traditions of American music and speech; it redrew
the map of the country itself; it left behind a world that was not
the same. The whole adventure is here.
