Like A Rolling Stone

[Dangerous55]

Found the Essential Bob Dylan for 15 bucks. Two CDs, 30 songs. Anyone who wants to hear something good instead of Fall Out Boy go pick it up. Man I hate the music out today.

On top of that, Like A Rolling Stone was named greatest song ever...by Rolling Stone magazine. Can't really rank that kinda stuff but neat.

Bob Dylan has really good lyrics, he is a true poet.

Compare some classic Hawthorne Heights...

Let's go down now
into the darkness
of your thoughts
hurry up now
we're waiting for
us to fall
I fall to pieces now (I fall to pieces now)
a broken mirror (I fall to pieces)
in your life


To some Bob Dylan:

In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place



I know, unfair to compare, but I'm a dick and I hate that crap out now.

The Rolling Stones were named after a 1950s song by Muddy Waters (which is probably influenced by a first generation Blues singer, 1930s or so). I have a feeling that "Like a Rolling Stone" was also influenced by it.

Rock is a reflection of Blues, y'know. Still a great song, and Rolling Stone magazine agrees.

I know, I think the song was just about literally a rolling stone.
