  Reason to Rock: Like A Rolling Stone
“Like A Rolling Stone” is not only one of the most popular rock songs of all time, it is also one of those whose appeal is the most mysterious.
But the story he tells, like that of many blues songs, is one of failure, of lives barely realized, lives where opportunities are so few that their losses never even rise to the level of tragedy.

 Mike Daley - essay - Vocal performance and speech intonation: Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" (via ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
“Like A Rolling Stone” was recorded on June 16, 1965 and was released as a single on July 20, later appearing on the album Highway 61 Revisited.
When you heard ‘Rolling Stone’ back then it was like a cataclysm, like being taken to the edge of the abyss, drawn to some guillotine of experience…[Dylan was] biting off a word, spitting out venom, spreading a virulent emotion, infecting the listener (Scaduto 1973:245).
I submit, then, that the commentators who associate “Like A Rolling Stone” with joy, celebration and liberation might be hearing these values primarily as embodied in the music, despite the fact that their critical faculties might impel them to look to the lyrics first.

 Rolling Stone : Like a Rolling Stone
There is no better description of "Like a Rolling Stone" -- of its revolutionary design and execution -- or of the young man, just turned twenty-four, who created it.
Yet Dylan obsessed over the forward march in "Like a Rolling Stone." Before going into Columbia Records' New York studios to cut it, he summoned Bloomfield, the guitarist in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, to Woodstock to learn the song.

 Brian Jones: Like a Rollin' Stone   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
This natural sense of non-conformity served him very well musically in later years, leading him to both innovative and original musical contributions, although it must be said that it is relatively certain that at least in part, that character trait was also a contributing factor in his difficulties with others.
Stone was quite aware that Brian had a rare musical talent and told his parents such and that she felt he was truly gifted.
