Lizzie Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 "Like a Rolling Stone" is a GREAT song, but I don't think anyone should say it is his best. Bob Dylan has so many great songs, that I think they should say, "Wow, what a great musician and songwriter". My personal favorite is "Knockin on Heaven's Door" ~Lizzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 LIKE A ROLLING STONE Bob Dylan Once upon a time you dressed so fine You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn?t you? People?d call, say, beware doll, you?re bound to fall You thought they were all kiddin? you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin? out Now you don?t talk so loud Now you don?t seem so proud About having to be scrounging for your next meal. How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone? You?ve gone to the finest school all right, miss lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street And now you find out you?re gonna have to get used to it You said you?d never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize He?s not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And ask him do you want to make a deal? 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? You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns When they all come down and did tricks for you You never understood that it ain?t no good You shouldn?t let other people get your kicks for you You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat Ain?t it hard when you discover that He really wasn?t where it?s at After he took from you everything he could steal. 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? Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people They?re drinkin?, thinkin? that they got it made Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things But you?d better lift your diamond ring, you?d better pawn it babe You used to be so amused At napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can?t refuse When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose You?re invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal. 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? Yes, definitely great song... one of so many... but remember he wrote this in 1965... not to talk about the music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Absolutely! I am also a big fan of Al Kooper. Have you heard his Supersessions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Thank you, 55... but I have to say that most of the people here are not only nice but lovely... there´s only a few posters trying to be unpolite and believing this a struggle or something like that. I consider this site as a bunch of friends. Rock lovers friends. We love music and are nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambchop Flansburgh Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Hm... Reading this thread makes me wonder what defines a "rock" or "rock & roll" song. Having read a lot about Dylan, including his autobiography, I'm aware that he played in R&B and Rock & Roll bands before he became a folkie in the early 60s. I've always considered Highway 61 Revisited a Rock album. The song itself uses two electric guitars, electric bass, drums, piano, organ & harmonica. It has a fairly complex chord progression, which most folk songs do not. The singing is loud, angry & raucous (for 1965). So why do we call it "folk rock"? Because Dylan made some folk-sounding records for four years prior to this one? I'm just curious about what defines a Rock song. Any thoughts?

OLD 55 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 No, sorry Edna. I'm more familiar with his production work rather than his Music*. * Except in Blood Sweat And Tears of course. I love the "bits" at the end of "Spinning Wheel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Oh, "Spinning Wheel" is a classic... a great song! Al Kooper used to do "Super sessions" albums with Mike Bloomfield, Steven Stills and other artists I don´t remember right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
