HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB DYLAN!
Ok, I'm a day late. Mr. Dylan celebrated his 75th birthday yesterday. So it seemed that today's post should be a tribute. I have selected his best-selling recording - 'Like a Rolling Stone'. Personally, there are a few others that I like better, but the numbers are what the numbers, right?
'Like a Rolling Stone' was written and recorded by Dylan 1965. Radio stations were reluctant to play it because of its 6:13 minutes length but it did make it to number 2 in the charts and became a world wide hit..
These are Dylan's comments regarding the song:
"Last spring, I guess I
was going to quit singing. I was very drained, and the way things were
going, it was a very draggy situation ... But 'Like a Rolling Stone'
changed it all. I mean it was something that I myself could dig. It's
very tiring having other people tell you how much they dig you if you
yourself don't dig you."
- Reading the refrain below, I think I may have to change my mind about
liking a few other of his songs better. (Women are allowed to change
their minds, right?)
- How does it feel
- How does it feel
- To be on your own
- With no direction home
- Like a complete unknown
- Like a rolling stone
Hope you enjoy!Namaste.Kimmie
