EdL Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Arthur Alexander is not the only person to write songs that were recorded by Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. The Rolling Stones released a live version of "Like a Rolling Stone" sometime in the 90's. The Beatles sang "Like a Rolling Stone" on the "Let It Be" album (well a couple of lines ) Bob Dylan wrote and recorded "Like a Rolling Stone". So, Bob Dylan can share that honour with Arthur Alexander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 That's the first and only Bob Dylan song I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdL Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 That's the first and only Bob Dylan song I've ever heard. Roger, Where've you been. What about "Hurricane" which was the subject of a movie in the last few years? Or "Things have Changed" which won an Oscar a couple of years ago? Or "Mr Tambourine Man" which heralded a new genre of music called folk rock (mind you, that was back in the 60's)? Do you have the TV series "Absolutely Fabulous" where you are? Guess who wrote the theme song (This Wheel's On Fire)? etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Nope, no AF here. We watched a video on Bob Dylan today and yesterday in History. I swear, all we ever do in that class is watch videos about music and food. We have watched documentaries on Pizza, The Hamburger, Jello, and Spam. And he actually wants to show us more. But I digress. I don't think Bob is all he's cracked up to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
