You Think You Know Like A Rolling Stone From Dylan Experience it With Author Scott G Shea
You have an upcoming event
Scott G. Shea
Tuesday Jul 30, 2024 ⋅ 10:15am – 10:25am (Eastern Time - New York)
Hey there, I hope that you're doing well! In honor of the rise of Bob Dylan’s breakthrough single, “Like a Rolling Stone” hitting the pop charts on July 24, 1965, I wanted to get ahead of next week's news cycle to see if you might be interested in hosting Scott G. Shea, leading music historian and author of the best-selling book, “All the Leaves Are Brown: How the Mamas Came Together and Broke Apart,” on your show to discuss how the song and the artist impacted western music and culture. Before the world heard that song, Dylan was far from mainstream and relevant in mostly small metropolitan and university music circles. "Like a Rolling Stone" changed all that. Along with the Byrds and the Lovin’ Spoonful, he ushered in the era we now know as folk-rock. Scott is available to discuss the significance of the song’s impact and uniqueness. Along with the Byrds and the Lovin’ Spoonful, Bob Dylan helped usher in the genre we now know as folk-rock, which Scott describes as the first successful and significant U.S. response to the British Invasion led by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Scott can address the unlikeliness of the song’s popularity. Dylan’s vocals were raw and unorthodox in comparison to most hit singers in the history of pop music and the single clocked in at an astounding 6:07, shattering the previous record held by the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” which clocked in at 3:45. The needs of radio station programmers were now irrelevant to musical artists.
