Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan - We Had To Check Him Out -1st Time Hearing - Reaction



Oct 19, 2021. Select comments:

- You guys! 1965! He wrote this when he was about 24 and it’s so WISE and mature. Most songwriters can’t write something this profound until they’re much older.[EDIT:] … or EVER.

- Bob Dylan's lyrics won him a Nobel prize, so yes he wrote his own songs.

- One of the best songwriters, a Nobel laureate and a poet. Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Kris Kristofferson, Gordon Lightfoot, Cat Stevens, Leonard Cohen, among others - poets all of them.

- One of the greatest artists ever, his lyrics are incredible and he will live forever. I think that hearing a number of Dylan songs should be compulsory listening material at schools worldwide. Perhaps the world would be a better place if we did that.

- This is a song from the sixties. Bob Dylan did indeed write his own songs. He is a true poet, and a recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature. He was a transformational cultural icon of the sixties. This is your best reaction ever, and you have not yet scratched the surface of Dylan's genius....so much more to discover.
