1. Like A Rolling Stone
(Highway 61 Revisited, 1965)
Lose yourself in the swirling vortex of Dylan's greatest song
The rock song as magical spell, calling the old world to an end and conjuring in its place... what? Something yet to be invented, hints Dylan. Meanwhile, the musicians build something unlike any previous rock and folk: a volatile cloud of noise, crackling with teeth-jangling electricity, riven by billowing tumults and lightning strikes. "Each instrument is a passageway," wrote the dean of Dylanographers, Greil Marcus, in MOJO. "You cannot make anything hold still." He's right, and so was Dylan, at his most playfully sloganeering: "When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose." No wonder a generation followed Like A Rolling Stone into the wilderness.
