  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. In Like A Rolling Stone Marcus locates Dylan's six-minute masterwork in its
richest, fullest context, capturing the heady atmosphere of the recording studio in 1965 as musicians and technicians
clustered around the mercurial genius from Minnesota, the young Bob Dylan at the height of his powers. But Marcus shows
how, far from being a song only of 1965, "Like a Rolling Stone" is rooted in faraway American places and times, drawing
on timeless cultural impulses that make the song as challenging, disruptive, and restless today as it ever was, capable
of reinvention by artists as disparate as the comedian Richard Belzer and the Italian hip-hop duo Articolo 31. "Like a
Rolling Stone" never loses its essential quality, which is directly to challenge the listener: it remains a call to arms
and a demand for a better world. Forty years later it is still revolutionary as will and idea, as an attack and an
embrace. How Does it Feel? In this unique, burningly intense book, Marcus tells you, and much more besides.

  No direction home," forty years later 3 April 2005
  By Autonomeus - 
  A whole book about one song? If there's a song that deserves it, it's Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone," but this is
Greil Marcus, and there's a lot of history, social context and cultural detritus here beyond the song, no surprise. The
first section of the book is on the social context into which the song was launched, the middle section is about the
making of the song itself, and the last section is about its reception and effects.
  
  I found some of
Marcus's cultural commentary compelling and some not so compelling -- the highlights for me are the less disputable
"facts" about the great song itself, recorded on June 15, 1965 and released on July 24, 1965. It stormed the pop charts,
unprecedented for a 6-minute song, and reached #2 in the USA. What was #1, you ask? It was the Beatles' "Help!" Al
Kooper's story of how he ended up playing organ is quite amusing, and Dylan's recruitment and
