50 years ago, Music changed completely with this one song

[ghostsinthemachine]

Rock became literate and folk became rock after this and Dylan's subsequent Newport appearance.

1. a great album

God say, “You can do what you want, Abe, but the next time you see me comin you better run.” Abe say, “Where you want this killin done?”

You try so hard but you don't understand just what you will say when you get home because something is happening here but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?

You would not think to look at him but he was famous long ago for playing the electric violin on Desolation Row

2. It was some amazing thing to me, though a huge amount of his followers thought he sold out with

Electric

3. I'll up you 18 years for game changers

1951 with Rocket 88 by Ike Turner & Jackie Brenston. Considered by many as the 1st Rock & Roll song.

Listen to those rattling keys and wailin' sax. They toned the rhythm down and pushed the blues aside to reveal that solid rock foundation.

The very first rock & roll song, imo.

4. He wrote this about Edie Sedgwick who he had an affair with.

She was the Warhol "IT" girl 1965. He wrote Just Like a Woman and Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat about her too.

6. Read 'Testimony' by Robbie Robertson

He played guitar for Dylan when he went electric and that book covers his life from childhood up through the making of The Last Waltz. Right now Robbie is working on a second book from that period on.

8. I so dislike Robbie

That I can't bring myself to read it. I've read every Dylan book, Levons book, other related books, but I really don't care for RR.
I'll get to it eventually, but....

7. You know it did!

Ah... Dylan

10. "HOW DOES IT FEEL?"

[LeftInTX]

11. I thought this was going to be Sunshine of Your Love

It seemed that Sunshine of Your Love ushered in the psychedelic era. I first heard it at my cousin's house in the summer of 68.
