      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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

      @@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.

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.

    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".

    1965. His voice is not always great, but his lyrics are often amazing.

    From your precious first reaction to Dylan's voice, to bobbing your head as the groove settled into your body, soul and mind, to actually anticipating and singing along with the unfolding lyrics, and finally, to giving the most perfect and succinct interpretation I have ever heard or thought of about the song's meaning, this was a magnificent reaction video! Thank you very much.
