I’m getting old when there’s a generation that never heard of Dylan
The generation I've produced knows of him, and they're not yet 10. I blame the parents.
Kind of strange, to me
it's ridiculous
not too bright
Well, I don't really buy it that she never heard the name.
I'm 73yrs old. My generation refers to Bob Dylan as the poet of our generation. An absolute genius with words. The most important solo artist of the 20th century. Hats off to Elvis.......but as an influence on music, songwriting, poetry, and social consciousness, I have to go with Bob Dylan.
Have you heard "Hi Ren" by Ren? I kind of think of him as the new Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan is the OG rapper. Agree about Ren.
@@janetclaireSaysthe Jenny, Screech and Violet trilogy.
Definitely one of the greatest song writers ever 🙌
Bob would disagree with all of that.
When you said, "Let's find out who Bob Dylan is" I felt my heart break a little bit.
Me too
Awwww. It’s sweet. She’s discovering Dylan for the first time and she had such a cool experience.
Sign of the Times
But you'll notice that she didn't seem to have any problem understanding the words. We who revered him so much had a bit of a problem understanding exactly what he was saying. I think that people who are young today who may have never heard him can understand the words well and hear them clearly. This is quite possibly due to the effect that he had on language itself.
She really missed out!
Over 145 million records sold. Over 600 songs. 40 Studio Albums. 16 live albums. 98 Singles. 54 music videos. 17 Bootleg Series records. 31 compilation albums. 25 Box sets. 7 sound tracks. Presidential Medal of Freedom. Ten Grammy awards. A Golden Glove Award. An Academy Award. A Pulitzer prize. A Nobel prize. Catalog sold for over $300 million.
Also 1st real r&r music video and 1st hip hop song....subterranean homesick blues
Who………..???
Bob Dylan...1964, Subterranean Homesick Blues
Yes, but who is he? She's never heard of him :-)
@@thomasohare2881 Listen to Chuck Berry "Too Much Monkey Business" & "Subterranean Homesick Blues" back-to-back.
This Nobel Prize winner for Poetry is an American TREASURE. One of the most amazing lyricists of all time.
Close, - it was the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature 😎
Along with Leonard Cohen.
@@ricklorimer9984 And Tom Waits and John Prine!
Or Word Smith Nobel Prize winner.
Actually, his Nobel Prize was for ‘Literature’, strangely enough!
Probably the most important song ever recorded by the most important artist of the last 100years. You must listen to more. Look him up and learn about him. He is still touring at 82
Wow really?! Amazing
I agree with you
Tangled up in Blue
What the **** ??? Never heard of Bob Dylan ????
I nearly wore my vinyl out when I was a teenager. This and Tambourine Man and Times They Are a Changing.
someone said that someone like Bob Dylan olnly comes around every 3 or 4 hundred years and I agree
This Dylan song will be played and listened to 100 years from tonight. That’s generational staying power. Like A Rolling Stone should have been launched out into Space on the Voyager series. To be listened to another form of extraterrestrial life somewhere else. A gift from Earth and Bob Dylan…
You didn't listen to Bob Dylan to hear his voice. You listened to hear what he had to say. And he said a lot with every song.
I listen to him for his voice! There's not a singer to touch him.
I love his voice too.
I absolutely LOVE his voice, and I listen to him for his voice, his words, and his music. He's topnotch in all three.
his voice is the word and the word is his voice
Maybe you just prefer a generic voice.
It’s so beautiful to see an intelligent, emotionally focused, alert person discover Bob Dylan.
If she was an intelligent, emotionally focused, alert person, she'd knew Bob Dylan - one of the true icons of the late 20th century - already and wouldn't need to discover him like an ancient figure.
You've GOT to be kidding. It's mostly noise. My cats are more harmonious
@@user-co7fb6qe5wDylan isn't the best singer ever, that's how the stupid cow was reminded of rap. But some of his songs were better than just the super easy peasy singer-songwriter fare of that time. All Along the Watchtower, Legend of Hurricane ring a bell?
@@orcaflotta7867 Dylan is a bit overrated plus he can't sing worth beans. Not bad at songwriting though. not everyone has to like him.
@@sixslinger9951Zacly, my dear. But not knowing him at all??? How ignorant are those youngsters today. You know since how long Mozart didn't have a song in the Top 40? Hundreds of years. Still we know all about him, his composing style, his private life, his scandals. But Dylan, a guy very much still alive and kinda busy, an Ameircan icon, and those fux never heard of him??? What about Hendrix, the Doors, Steppenwolf, Jefferson Airplane, Joni MIchell, CSN&Y, Carpenters, Smokey Robinson? All under your radar?
O tempora o mores. :o
Dylan is the Godfather of songwriters. He influenced the Beatles and countless others but still remains the master. Hence his Noble prize for literature.
That would be Leonard Cohen.
@@ricklorimer9984Leonard Cohen once asked Bob how long it took him to write Like a Rolling Stone, since it had taken him so many tortuous years to write hallelujah, Bob responded "oh a few days"
Bob learned from Woody Guthrie and Jimmy Ridgers.
The eminent scholar of English Literature, Christopher Ricks, wrote an essay in the late 1970s entitled Keats or Dylan?
I wouldn't give up the last 60 years of listening to Dylan, but I sure wish I could go back and re-live the first time I heard Like a Rolling Stone.
I love Bob Dylan and grew up listening to his music. I can still do his voice just like I could back in the 70's. More people need to hear Bob!
I can’t imagine a world without Bob Dylan .
I remember walking down W 4th St. , going into coffee houses , the clubs on Bleeker and hanging out in Washington Sq. Park with all the other Beatniks , it was an amazing time to be alive! That's the world that Dylan joined. ( Alan Ginsberg gave me my first hit on a joint , lol)
Don't worry. He'll be here for quite a while yet.
I'm just happy to have lived during his time. The man is a genius ❤
I did just that for a couple of seconds long ago. The sight & sound was complete nothingness.😐
Get ready, The day is coming.
He doesn't remind you of other people. Without knowing they remind you of him. He came before the ones you must be thinking of
100%
He reminds me of hank Williams howling wolf Pete Seger and woody Guthrie, 😂
@@maxhammer4067 Yep, but I strongly suspect Sarah has never heard any of their recordings either.

Another 74 year old here. I love her reaction to the song and hearing Bob's voice for the first-time. Passed to another generation. Thanks for keeping it alive. By the way, this is my favorite song of all time.
She's obviously faking it.
Bob is the only popular singer/songwriter to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. An amazing person.
Half true. Lyricist (among many other kinds of writing) Rabindranath Tagore won in 1913.
@@richardjarrell3585 Thank you, nearly forgot about him.

Who is this woman? Holy Mother of Mary! I've forwarded this to the appropriate person in Bob's organization because it's so freakin' amazing. Sarah! You are A++
Good one.
A wonderful intelligent insightful review
I used to laugh at Dylan's voice when I was young, but his lyrics, his poetry is so moving. This is my favorite Dylan song. It's a comeuppance for the rich and haughty. A lot of ppl have this coming. "Once upon a time, ya dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?"
When it comes to writing songs, no one can touch Bob Dylan. I listen to him daily, his songs lift my spirits.
❤

Highway 61. I still have this album! Greatest song writer of our time. As to his politics...meh.
Love it
There's Bob Dylan and then there's all the rest...😁
Absolutely a one true statement if there ever was one
But Bob was best. G
He is the Only song writer to win A Nobel Prize for his poetry
the first time hearing this through someone else's eyes is better than hearing it any time through my own eyes
He is only the greatest male song writer in history and this his masterpiece #1 of over 400 hits.I remember hearing this almost 60 years ago and I was kicking around homeless and using drugs,lost in my misery.I heard this and immediately thought holy s..t this is me.I changed my life soon after
Great story I appreciate your sharing✌️🎶🙏
Wow! - that's incredible. I wonder if Bob knows the positive impact his song had.
I'm so glad that you were able to find a way to extract yourself from that situation you were caught up in and turn things around - no mean feat, I'm sure. Hope life has been much better for you since then.. Take care...
Kate Bush is the greatest female singer and songwriter.
I've been in love with her for 46 years
@@Chapps1941Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, Carole King, Stevie Nick would all beg to differ.
@@butterbeanqueen8148 only Mitchell could come near. The depth of her writing, the vast and manifold writing styles along with all-encompassing artistic inputs such as visual and performance art separate her even from Mitchell. She's truly an artistic tour de force. Parton would be in absolute awe of her.
That's why Bob Dylan's music is timeless. He's a true artist.
Simply put... the hippest dude on the planet for over 60 years! KEEP LISTENING
One of the greatest songs written by one of the most important song writers of the 20th century.
"The words man. Listen to the words." Bob Dylan to Lennon & McCartney----Summer of 1964.
He doesn't remind you of anyone.... anyone else should remind you of Bob Dylan, one of the OGs if ever there was one.
Woody Guthrie?
@@mojobag01 Definitely but Woody's recordings were mostly pre-rock, so he's not well known in the rock world. Dylan, on the other hand, entered the Rock world so loudly in the mid 60's when he added full band to his records and concerts and then the rock world followed him into the edgy and bold lyrics etc
I wonder if she's heard of Woody Guthrie.@@mojobag01
@@mojobag01 Woody Guthrie was more pre-Highway 61 Revisited Bob Dylan.
William Shakespeare
The greatest songwriter of all time. Full stop. No more argument. Love him or hate him, respect him for his incredible ability to write lyrics that touch each and every one of us in so many ways. It is not for nothing, he was given a Nobel prize for Literature.
No disrespect to Bob Dylan, but there is more argument. The greatest songwriter of all time was Jacques Brel. It's just that nihilists never win literature Nobel prizes. Same with Stanislaw Lem.
Ditto
on that same vantage point, Barack Obaba won a peace prize. Puleeze
To each their own, I just don't care for him. Listen to his rendition of House of the Rising Sun then listen to Eric Burden masterfully perform it.
So glad he received Nobel Prize- his words documented the chaos and unrest of the sixties.

DYLANS WORDS RECOGNIZED AND RESPONSED TO GENERATIONS OF LISTENERS-
“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the winds blow”
(Dylan).
Dylan was one of the greatest lyricist that ever lived
Wow! I am 74 y/o. I remember hearing this for the first time on the radio around 1966. It changed my life. Because of this tune I was motivated to learn to play guitar.
i'am 74 y/o". I remember hearing this for the first time on the radio around 1966. It changed my life
Not to say I'm OLD or anything, but Bob Dylan was the poet of my generation. His music called to us, united us, spoke for us, lived in us. There are no words to describe the influence he had on music from the day his first album came out when he was 21. And that album is simply brilliant.
Damn, you older than me😁
At 79 I still adore his music. Thank-you for introducing him to members of your generation.
Pre-Boomer here. I don't think there would be a thing called American music without Bob Dylan.
He won a Nobel Prize!
The internal rhyming on this song is amazing
The greatest song writer of all time. Music and lyrics both in one package. He truly has no equal. The most covered musician ever. Only the combination of Lennon and McCartney have been covered more, but not if you break them apart. He influenced everyone else. It is amazing to me that you've never heard of him before this reaction.
No one has been covered more. No one or pair of songwriters.
Nobel laureate Robert Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan, is worth listening to.
He's been playing and writing, and recording and touring, for well over 60 years.
It's a pleasure for me, even a gift, to listen to him.
One of the greatest and most influential pop songs ever recorded. Released July 20, 1965.
Loved it then s, still do!
I was 14 then ❤
I was 17 and living in Alaska. My boyfriend introduced me to Dylan.@@johnphilip58
Arguably the greatest pop/rock songwriter of all time. Surprised you never heard of him.
This song was recorded in 1965. The way he performed it in 1974 cued audiences that the song was about HIM. "How does it feel?" As Greil Marcus wrote, "It feels GOOD." Al Kooper plays the organ. He wasn't much of a keyboardist then and the producer wanted to take him off the recording but Bob said, "Turn it up!" and that organ sound became ubiquitous in 1965-66. Perhaps the greatest rock song ever.
And Mike Bloomfield playing guitar.Gone Way Too Soon.
such a great jangly mix...
Byrds influence ?
I love that story told by Al Kooper in which he was asked to come along on tour through these Southern States to start off in Dallas... "and i said no to Bob cause the thought of Dallas where they shot the president just a year before ..well if they didn't like that guy i wonder what they think of this guy.."
Respect to you Sarah, because you understood the song's story after hearing it only once. I first heard this song hen I was 15 years old. I had not heard anything this good before. This song alone puts Bob Dylan at the pinnacle of Pop music.
It breaks my heart that anyone hasn’t heard of Bob Dylan!!!!!! Thank you for putting this out there
Bob Dylan was voted the greatest songwriter of all time. Paul McCartney was second. I'm 74 and Bob is the poet of my generation. He is.82 now and is touring with Willie Nelson.
Love Bob! He just keeps on touring, seems like he's been on one constant tour for years.
I have them the other way round with Lennon third & Billy Joel 4th
Dylan then daylight ……… 😂
He’s not touring with Willie. He’s going to be on the same bill at a festival this year though. He’s touring alone as usual.
Paul McCartney 2nd is BS! Where were Paul Simon, John Prine, and Roger Miller who once wrote the entire score for a movie?
Welcome to the world of the genius Bob Dylan. There is much to discover from this singer/song writer/harmonica player/guitarist/author/Nobelprize winner and even more. He released over 40 albums so there is much to find! Thank you for your reaction! 💙
It was around 1980 when I listened to the lyrics very carefully. I Kew then this was a very powerful song. Then a few years ago my daughter became homeless and addicted. This song reminds me of her downfalls. It cuts like a knife into the soul. Fortunately my daughter is doing much better now. Bob D. Is magical.
def. spin Slow Train Coming, Saved, Shot of Love
Bob Dylan is the ONLY singer/songwriter to win the Nobel Prize in Literature...he is truly a national treasure. Many other artists have covered his songs, including Jimi Hendrix. Peace! ✌😎
Bob Dylan’s music helped change the world. It was an extraordinary Time in our human history.
You will love Tangled Up In Blue
One.if my favs
This is 1965, the year Dylan went electric which really ticked off his folk song fans, I dug it.
I dig him both directions, I'm 70 and his first album was one of my first. Jim
@@bert0522 I'll be 74 in 3 weeks. It was a great time to live for music.
They Stone Ya- when youre tryin to be so good
I dug it too, then look, electric took over the world.
As for me I am glad he went electric. If he was to survive and compete with the Beatles etc. he had to I believe.
I'm 70 and there is not a time in my life that I didn't know Bob's music, starting with singing Blowing in the wind when I was a child.
The best thing to happen to Dylan was Peter Paul and Mary
That's the version I first heard,and,the Byrds version of Mister Tambourine Man. The first Dylan song sung by Bob was this one. I loved it.
My music teacher in elementary school was a Mennonite, and even she had us singing "Blowin' in the Wind" in the late 60s; maybe that's completely appropriate for her sect, but dancing is not, and she taught us square dancing.
Bob Dylan used to be a socially conscious folk singer on acoustic guitar and harmonica, but with the release of this album he shifted to electric guitar. And in 1965, that was enough to change the future course of rock music. Songs shifted from teen interests like love ballads, surfing, dance parties, and so on, and turned toward more mature themes. Dylan and some of the Beatles became friendly, and the style of music by the Beatles changed. By 2 years later, 1967, rock music was very different, highly experimental, and breaking apart into multiple sub-genres, like psychedelic, hard rock, orchestral rock, and so on. So while it's hard to draw such a large transformation in culture back to a single point, this song is pretty close to being that point.
You've added some wonderful historical context here. Just look at the Beatles going from "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" to "Sgt. Peppers" in just a few short years.
@@paulvecchio3949 Yes, and there are even references by the band, like Paul saying, "That's John doing his imitation of Dylan."
Dylan and the Beatles actually first met in mid 1964, so I suppose the influence could have gone both ways, with maybe the Beatles inspiring Bob to pick up the electric guitar. That seems likely.
Songs John wrote in what he called his "Dylan period" were "I'm A Loser," "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," "Norwegian Wood," "Yer Blues," and more. Some of those songs are in that transitional period for the Beatles, with "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver," where there were signs their sound was changing.
Another note on their changing style is when the Beatles toured America they spent a lot of time listening to US radio.
Bob Dylan is arguably the most consequential artist of the the early 1960s through today. Researching his history and trying to understand his genius taken hundreds of writers and hundreds of books to just scratch the surface. It has been estimated that his hundreds of songs have been recorded by over 6,000 artists and he won the Nobel Laureate Prize for Literature! (2016). Part of the Nobel Prize citation states it was awarded to him “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” Many book authors were outraged that the award went to "a simple songwriter" but that just underscored what a profound impact Dylan's extensive body of work has had and continues to have. I would seriously doubt he will ever be eclipsed. Dig in to the Dylan rabbit hole!
Bob Dylan came from a folk background. As a result his song sounded like rap to you because folk is very wordy and Bob Dylan is an amazing poet. If you are calling it rap Bob Dylan would be the best rapper ever. He changed history dramatically. Pretty much every band you've listened to on this channel looks at Dylan as a songwriting God. Dire Straits guitarist/singer/songwriter Mark Knopfler said Dylan was clearly the most important songwriter in his life. Lennon and McCartney gushed over Dylan. He is a bigger than life rock star and his catalog is massive.
How is it possible to not of heard of Bob Dylan? Unbelievable!
Love your show..
Im 75 and i cry hearing this song and seeing you..then i smile..Bobby has a dozen songs about couples and he talks the talk and walks the walk...
This song was voted the All time Number 1 Rock and Roll song.
The poet of my generation; a once in a lifetime lyricist musician. Overstating his importance is impossible.
It's just Bob knocking out a proto-rap with the magnificent Al Kooper swirling round on his Hammond Organ.
Mike Bloomfield on guitar.
I am 74 and was and first heard Dylan at 16 years. He an artist and a genius. He claims that he can't write songs like that anymore because it was purely magical. There has to be something magical that put those lyrics in his head. I will never get tired of his music.
I love when people finally find Bob Dylan. I heard him back in high school and have been a fan ever since! He's the guy who decided that you didn't always have to sing love songs. You could sing about anything. The Beatles, Stones and others realized that too, thanks to Bob. And he is still around in his 80s!
Not only still around, but still touring! I saw him in 2016 and his show was just amazing, even though he was singing a lot of obscure Sinatra songs at the time!
Bob learned the lesson from Woody Guthrie.
one of the best songs ever written ..
One of the most important & influential Poets/Song writers of the 20th. Century. Your journey has only just begun.
I envy the way she listens. Really good at keeping her ears and mind open. Gives me hope.
This song scared the shit out of me when I first heard it.

Having lived and loved Bob from the beginning, I have never enjoyed anyone bogging on to The Man, as much, for the first time. Brilliant.!!!.
Now listen to John Prine.
Next on the list should be another masterpiece of manyy: Visions of Johanna. The poetry is on another level.
Agreed.
Never heard of Bob Dylan, really! I have no words. 😢
Come on, give her a break. Dylan is from an entirely different generation than she is.
@@danielmaher7108And a different culture.
She had to living in a box
Are you serious? He's world known for more than 60 years. I love your reactions btw.
53 here. Bob Dylan still had a huge presence, influence and reverence in the 1980s. Dylan and The Dead back in 87 (I think I'm close) was awesome. I can't remember it all, but so glad that I was there near the end of the greatness that seemed to fade away life by life until all we had left was memories.
I was at the Dylan/Dead show in Anaheim. 1st and only Dylan show for me, but my third Dead.
I'm 75 and I was in high school when Dylan had his first album. I just can't imagine how there is anyone who doesn't know about him. Get the lyrics so that you can understand what the song is about. He is the most famous man of his generation.
A tip for you: When listening to Bob it really helps to have the lyrics in front of you
Dylan was awarded a Nobel prize for literature or som such. That shows his influence.
Awww brought a tear to my eyes watching Sarah enjoy Bob Dylan
Like a Rolling Stone.
Released by Bob Dylan in July 1965.
At 15 years I met the the young man, I eventually married, and I met him one week earlier on July 6th, 1965.
Bob Dylan punctuated the soundtracks of our young lives with such headiness musical masterpieces throughout our blessed lives.
Bob Dylan is a musical genius. He plays guitar and harmonica as well❤
And also writes music and not just lyrics.
Bob Dylan and this song is one of the most famous and defining songs of the 1960s ever written or recorded. He even inspired The Beatles to become who they were and just about every other musician who came along in the 1960s and 70 and ever lived in reality since he appeared on the scene. Glad you found him because just about every one you have reacted to on your channel was inspired and/or influenced by Bob Dylan.
You won’t find another like Bob, unique voice, so many songs. Many people say he was the first rapper🎶🎶🎶
I'd say it's more like a semi-sung talking blues. Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott did some excellent talking blues too, before Dylan. Subterranean Homesick Blues is even more rap-like. Rap has deep and varied roots, as does hip-hop. Maybe this is one.
This was gorgeous seeing her reaction to hearing him for the first time.
Bob Dylan is a legendary songwriter poet starting in the 60's. So many great songs such as "Blowin' In The Wind", "Don't Think Twice It's Alright", "The Times They Are A-Changin'", "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Shelter From The Storm", "Lay Lady Lay" etc. The 60's group The Byrds covered a lot of his songs. In 1988 Bob Dylan joined the supergroup the "Travelling Wilburys" which included George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison & Tom Petty.
Also, Hendrix's version of "All Along The Watchtower" and Olivia Newton-John's cover of "If Not For You" are two of the best Dylan remakes.
@@batmanforpresident9655you can add "it's all over now baby blue" by Them with an 18yr old Van Morrison on lead vocals!!!👍😊
Blood on the Tracks is a masterpiece
Tangled up in Blue is my personal favorite.
One of the greatest lyricist ever. Check out All along the Watchtower were Jimi Hendrix takes a Dylan song to an EPIC level.
And even beyond EPIC.
Imagine not knowing about Bob's music and hearing this song for the first time- mind-blowing!
I am 69, and remember this song on FM radio.
Thanks for playing this. It felt great bringing back memories. And it hurts, for those same memories.
To all my friends who have gone before me, we'll all party again someday.
This ia the greatest song in Rock history, and Bob Dylan is probably the greatest and most important artist of the Rock era, and the greatest songwriter that ever lived. He began his career as a folk/rock singer but then changed the face of music forever when he went electric in 1965.
Within a 15 month span in the 60's he release 3 of the most essential recordings of the 20th century:
"Bringing It All Back Home", "Highway 61 Revisited" and"Blonde On Blonde", which expanded music both lyrically and technically wise.
His importance CANNOT be overstated. Every artist that has followed has been influenced in some way by Dylan
.The best way to experience Dylan as a newcomer is to listen by albums, not individual songs.
However, some of his classics include for introductory purposes include:
"Positively 4th Street", "Lay Lady Lay", "A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall", "Blowin' In The Wind", "Girl From The North Country", "Mr. Tambourine Man ", "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright ", "Just Like A Woman ", "The Times They Are A Changin', "All Along The Watchtower", "Tangled Up In Blue", "Visions Of Johanna".
And dont forget Hurricane.

The list is endless, I provided only a fragment.
Frankie Lee & Judas Priest
You forgot "Wiggle wiggle wiggle".
This was when he went electric and freaked out all of his folk fans. Nobody ever told Bob what to play.
Bob Dylan is the voice of a new generation! I grew up listening to his lyrics and he said what all young people were feeling.Yes, "The Times They Are A Changing" He reflected a whole generation. The greatest!!
A delight, Sarah, to hear and see your pleasure in discovering Dylan! I’m 74 and have deeply admired Dylan since I was in high school. I named my son after him. As a teenager, he fell in love with rap. When he was older, I often told him that Dylan was the first rap artist. I’m very happy to see another generation enjoying him!
“Like A Rolling Stone” was written, recorded & released in 1965. The song “Subterranean Homesick Blues” which was released earlier in 1965, is considered by many to be a rap song. The official video of “Subterranean Homesick Blues” is worth watching.
I always thought Bob invented rap, too.
"🎵Johnnys in the basement mixing up the medicine. Im on the pavement thinking bout the President....."
"Worth watching?" To say the least.
Great video . Allen Ginsberg standing behind him in the ally. The other gentleman was an artist I believe.
@@elowishusmirkatroid4898that's on the pavement thinking bout the government but president will do 😆🤗
You aren't the first to say Dylan sounds like rap. His early work from the early to mid 1960s was like a rap precursor. Bob is still making music...a true legend.
Dylan is a bonafideTreasure...One of the truly beautiful gifts The United States of America shared with the World.....
Sarah ! I’m so sorry ( and shocked ! ) that you’re only just discovering Bob Dylan - but also excited to see your reaction and to know you have so much more of him to find. He’s possibly above but certainly equal to Lennon and McCartney in terms of his influence on songwriters and popular culture in the 20th century and now the 21st ! Grab a book of his lyrics - they read like poetry in themselves, like short stories but reading them whilst listening to his records takes the whole Dylan experience to another level of magic. ❤
“The fall from grace , isn’t it?” Exactly the sentiment.
Yes, she got it!
Nice to see someone find Dylan. I found him in the early 60`s and since then I have never stopped being amazed how good he is. What a charming young lady, like her surprised looks when she listens to the words. Good on you. Listen to more Dylan dear.
Bob Dylan received the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."
Sarah, some people posting here are complaining that you don't know Dylan. Well, I'm just glad you've had a chance to hear his music, and I hope it opens many doors for you.
"Sounds like music people would do today". Nobody did it like Dylan, before or since.
Most of the "music" that people do today cannot even be described as music. It will be gone and forgotten in 2-5 years. Music by Bob Dylan and others like Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, and many others will be played, covered and enjoyed for many decades if not centuries into the future.
Probably the greatest song writer of all time. 😎
Lowered 1951 Chevy with 6 speakers back in the day playing Dylan and cruising. Yes lots of Chicanos in the day loved music like Dylan and we road Like A Rolling Stone. Danm this is great music and so happy some younger kids love it too.
Not just a singer, but also a gifted poet ! 👌🏻👍🏻
Bob Dylan is a Noble Prize winner!! Most of his songs tell stories and watching him live you have to wonder how he remembers all the words because there are a lot of them 🌻👵🏼💜✌🏼
