Like A Rolling Stone

Two versions of one of the greatest, meanest songs ever written. Sprawling, jangly, rusty. Totally fresh even today.

First Dylan in Newcastle, 1966. Then Hendrix at Monterey one year later. Just because.

the opening measures of that song sum up everything that is great about rock. have you heard the version he does with the band on 'before the flood'? staggering.

Yeah, singing this song -- maybe even just listening to this song -- makes you cool! Writing it makes you a god!
