Sardonic, bitter, threatening, compassionate, gleeful, and most of
all loud, 'Like a Rolling Stone' is much more than a song. Six
minutes and six seconds in length, it was released by Dylan despite
the received wisdom of the day as to what constituted a single.
Originally published on the 40th anniversary of its release and
recording, Greil Marcus' extraordinary book reconstructs the
context in which the song first appeared, in terms of Dylan's own
career (his controversial transformation from folk singer into rock
n roll singer) and the world at large (Vietnam, the Watts Riots,
the burgeoning counter-culture of the time). This is itself the
stage for Marcus' recreation of the song on the page - its
emergence from fragments, its words, its sound, its discovery of
itself. An analysis and critique of an artist at the height of his
creative powers, it affords a unique insight into the mistakes,
inspirations and bloody mindedness that come together only in the
very highest cultural moments.
