Bob Dylan’s Like a Rolling Stone for BBC News
2 May, 2014
A brief thought on the auctioning of the lyrics for Like a Rolling Stone for the BBC News Magazine.
The Times They Are a-Changin’ owes not a little to the Sermon on the Mount’s “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth”. That earlier Dylan could be reassuring, even. You can imagine The Times They Are a-Changin’ coming from a gospel choir. Like a Rolling Stone, from 1965, is anarchy, and Dylan sounds like he’s enjoying it.
