Greil Marcus and Like A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan

“Dylan leads the group into the song with a strong, strummed theme on his electric rhythm guitar. Paul Griffin has a loose, free bounce on the piano; Kooper immediately has a high, clear tone. Dylan stops it: “Hey, man, you know, I can’t, I mean, I’m just me, you know. I can’t, really, man, I’m just playing the song. I know — I don’t want to scream it, that’s all I know — ” He takes up the theme again; Bloomfield and Gregg come in. The feeling is right all around; a rich ensemble is coming together.”
– Greil Marcus (Like a Rolling Stone – Bob Dylan at the crossroads)

I love Greil Marcus’s book on Bob Dylan’s song, Like a Rolling Stone, and therefore I’ve collected som clips on and about the book, including a very interesting YouTube-clip with Marcus talking about the book and the song.

Greil Marcus saw Bob Dylan for the first time in a New Jersey field in 1963. He didn’t know the name of the scruffy singer who had a bit part in a Joan Baez concert, but he knew his performance was unique. So began a dedicated and enduring relationship between America’s finest critic of popular music— “simply peerless,” in Nick Hornby’s words, “not only as a rock writer but as a cultural historian”— and Bob Dylan.

May 24: Happy Birthday Bob Dylan

Happy Birthday to the GREATEST Artist of Our Time.

Here @ alldylan.com we got about 1500 Bob Dylan posts alive. In this tribute I’ll try to give an overview & hopefully lead you [the reader] to material you might find interesting.

My favorite quote of all time is off course:

 That he not busy being born is busy dying
~From – It’s Alright, Ma (I’m only bleeding)

Dylan has always been busy being born. At the age of 74 he’s still [never ending] touring the world, performing at peak level, bringing awe & joy to those lucky enough to understand & participate. If you’re a true “performing artist”, you can’t retire. You gotta be yourself to the end. And we all know that Zimmy will not back down.

Enough with the chit chat, let’s get down to it.

Here is how we have organized our Bob Dylan material & some essential links:
