First Time Hearing Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone (Reaction!) 

The song is not about being homeless. It’s about someone arrogant who put less fortunate people down, and then wound up in the same predicament.

The only Rock Star that is in the Hall of Fame and has a Nobel Prize.

Hey, Shon, an old lady in Southern California here. I am so glad I found your channel. When you play the artists from my generation & react, makes my heart happy. Blessings, young man. 💐

If you want to hear him put someone down beautifully, listen to "Positively 4th Street"!

Bob Dylan is a legendary songwriter poet starting in the 60's. So many great songs such as "Blowin' In The Wind", "Don't Think Twice It's Alright", "The Times They Are A-Changin'", "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Shelter From The Storm", "Lay Lady Lay" etc. The 60's group The Byrds covered a lot of his songs. In 1988 Bob Dylan joined the supergroup the "Travelling Wilburys" which included George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison & Tom Petty.

There's Bob Dylan, then there's all the rest. He's unique, a one off, irreplaceable, the likes of whom we will never see again. His canon of work is unsurmountable, no one equals his output, content, genre of work, live performances, once you're hooked, there's no going back...

Everybody who’s ever been HURT can understand this song. It’s a perfect song. It has everything.

Has been considered the No. 1 song of all time. It was No. 1 on Rolling Stone's top 500 songs of all time. Harp is my favorite instrument too.

Greatest songwriter/ poet in the history of the world.

Bob Dylan was a winner of the Nobel Prize. He wrote an incredible amount of songs, including this one. "Positively 4th Street" is another about someone getting their verbal comeuppance, which he gave freely and brilliantly to many others in his countless songs. Thanks for the reaction!

So nice to see a young person appreciate 'The Great Bob Dylan'! and yes Dylan plays a great harmonica!

As a 66 year-old listening to Dylan all my life, this song never grows old....... Dylan in all his brilliance comes to bear on this person he sings about, maybe lyrics of anger from a jilted lover? Anyhow, it is such a masterpeice. Your reaction brings new meaning to this song for sure. I love it when younger people start delving into my generational music, like my daughter going all in on The Beatles. Great reaction, loved your comments, TY.

He shook all of us with his poetic songs. We bought the 45's and listened on the radio and debated the meanings endlessly. He led a generation. Watch him live and yes, he plays the harmonica

He won the Nobel prize for his writing

Bruh... When Bob Dylan debuted this song at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, he was actually booed by the crowd. They couldn't yet comprehend his monumental achievement of the fusion of Folk and Rock. It was one of the most important moments in the history of modern music. Though you may not have any personal, first-hand experience with some of the things about which he is speaking, you *can* relate to it because you are a human being and are educating yourself to become more and more fully realized. Congratulations on the amazing voyage of discovery upon which you have embarked. I envy you the long strange trip yet to come.

I love how you listen so intently

Bob plays harmonica in almost every song he does, and usually far more than he does here. You are listening to the man generally considered the greatest songwriter in folk and rock history as well as a Nobel Prize in literature. Check out his catalogue of more than 500 songs. It will change your life.

Bob goes electric. Outrage ensues. This was ground breaking back in the day 🎉❤🎉

I'm a 69 yr. old woman I grew up listening to Dylan. Love your reactions to the music of my generation.

Now we’re talkin

Great reaction. He wrote this song about Edie Sedgewick. Google her. She was a model and hung out with Andy Warhol.

Bob was rappin before they knew what to call it!

Masterpiece. To Middle Class Folks; the anthem of poverty class. xo

100% sixties. 100% New York. 100% fabulous.

Dylan was spittin bars before it was a thing.

He and Joni Mitchell are the best song writers ever!

Bob Dylan sings & plays the Hermonica. Dylan had his own sound, nobody sings like him. This takes me back to my young years, I could cry!👍👏👏👏♥️

Love this song and Positively4th Street,,they are in my list of favorites. Bob is an amazing creative powerhouse with his lyrics.He is a Noble Laureate Peace Prize winner. BTW Bob is playing the piano and harmonica in this song.

Your country's greatest ever poet and the world's best poet in the English language in the 20th century.

You just experienced how I felt first listening to this song when I was 17 years old in 1965. How did it feel? F***ing great, right? Thank you for allowing me the pleasure of seeing it again in you. "Positively 4th street" is another of Bob's put down songs with the best, IMHO, last line ever written. Great reaction as usual.

Simply one of the best songs ever written imho.

This is from the album Highway 61 Revisited. It was released in 1965 when I was a senior in high school. One of my friends called me up and said “ You have to hear this album” so I listened to it with him. It was mind blowing, really. Bob Dylan and progressed from an acoustic folk singer to anelectric blues and rock singer

I was 15 the summer of 1965! This was one of numerous songs put out by now-legendary artists that came out that summer that became legendary! Bob Dylan not only had this song he sang himself, but, ironically, there were so many songs released at the SAME EXACT TIME, by other artists, that he wrote, covers: IT AIN'T ME BABE, ALL I REALLY WANT TO DO, MR. TAMBERINE MAN...I could go on&on! But, this became my favorite Dylan song (the organ hooked me)! Other songs I liked better (Beatles songs of course) that summer but this song was one of them that to this day was very special for me sure! It might even be more so now! I never ever tired of it! This is probably why most of us from that generation never turned away from that music in the '60's&'70's! And probably why we still listen to it now: there was so much of it, we ONLY had a chance to SAMPLE alot of it! Back then, We zeroed in on Beatles & other British groups! Thru the decades tho, we've been listening to what we kind of "glanced" at! It's just a lifetime of music that has stood the test of time! To prove it, can u name a song that was popular when u were 8? When I was 8, there's a song called "RUNNING BEAR" that I have on my ringtone today, bc it brings memories of my brothers& sisters, laughing, just being happy as we played & ran around, while an older sister played a transistor radio. Anyway, so glad u got to listen to Dylan, the Poet Laureate of America! 🤙👏

Such a distinctive and powerful voice. And such a huge influence on so many artists and musicians. Mad respect for Mr. Dylan.

Tangled up in Blue is my Dylan favorite.

You analyzed Hendrix 'All Along the Watchtower'. You may want to revisit it by Dylan (since he wrote it). Just Saying.....

Robert Allen Zimmerman - "Bob Dylan".... The First And Greatest Rapper Of All Time. Nobody else comes close.

Bob Dylan is thought to be the greatest songwriter/poet of our generation. I just learned that he won the Nobel prize for literature. You nailed it when you were so impressed by his lyrics.

The backing band on this is basically the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. If you want to hear some harmonica that's the all time great.

The biggest Diss song of all time. He was going after socialite Edie Sedgwick who was an Andy Warhol hanger on.

Fantastic reaction mate. I'm 66 years old and Bob's music has been the sound track of my life since I was 18. I first heard Hurricane on the radio on my way home from work and I know exactly where I was when that wonderful voice blasted out of my van's radio. I went straight down town and bought Desire and have loved Bob's music ever since. Thanks Bobby

He was 24.

Don't ever piss Bob off.

Stevie Wonder “Fingertips (part 2)” is a great song with Stevie playing harmonica live when he was just a kid.

Great reaction you should give Knocking on Heavens Door a listen to.

Of course his lyrics are genius. They gave Bob Dylan a nobel prize for literature.

YES!He wrote this! And... ocer 700 other songs! Tgere is only Bob. Oscar winner for Soundtrack, Pulitzer prize for Literature winner, Nobel Peace Price for literature, and the Medal of Freedom.

The times are changing!

Yes yes 💖 Beautiful reaction, brother...Bob writes his own songs unless he's purposely doing a cover of someone else. He was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for LITERATURE, that's how insanely genius his lyrics are. Please try LILY ROSEMARY and THE JACK OF HEARTS for a cool story song.

He has written over one thousand songs. He wrote All Along The Watchtower that wad turned into a masterpiece by Hendrix.

You'll be happy to know that for years Bob Dylan was almost never seen without a harmonica harness hanging from his neck.

I grew up with this guy in 60s

His Lyrics! Best Poet to pick up guitar❤! All I Really Want To Do, Shelter From The Storm, Tangled Up In Blue, Don't Think Twice It's Alright, Hurricane, The Man In The Long Black Coat, Ring Them Bells, Maggie's Farm,, & every song he ever wrote, 😂! If they still had Bards, Bob Dylan would be #1. Man can tell a story! 😮😊❤! Others you may like, if you like storytellers, Arlo Guthrie, ( Coming into Los Angeles, Alice's Restaurant), Jim Croce, ( I Got A Name, Lovers Cross, Don't Mess Around With Jim), all awesome storytellers, writers, musicians ❤️, and I got more..😂, great review, thanks.

Loved your reaction, Shon! As usual you got it!! My all-time favorite song since I heard it on the radio upon the day of its release. I was too poor to buy the 45 rpm, so I had to resort to "radio-chase" this song from my 9 pm. bedtime to as late as I needed to stay up to catch the song on the radio!! Good old Wolfman Jack never failed me. I usually got my 8 hours' sleep! Those were the days! The songs were fire!

My favorite reaction channel. Not my favorite Bob Dylan song but watching you listen to music for the first time makes the music sound better. Keep doing what you are doing. 100k subscribers is coming soon for you.

The American Writer's Museum in Chicago has a Dylan exhibit. Took my 75 yr old Vietnam vet pops when he visited me. ❤

It’s about someone who looked down on less fortunate people until she found herself in the same position.

You got the meaning of this song which is considered by critics as the greatest rock song!

Bob Dylan was a poet of the people

If you can sit still through this masterpiece, you’re just dead inside. Love this Dylan classic, and I thoroughly enjoyed the joy in your reaction!

One of the all time great albums! Dylan was on fire during this period, this album, Blonde on Blonde and Blood on the Tracks. Three absolute masterpieces, cemented him as the greatest songwriter of all time.

Part of your journey down the Bob Dylan rabbit hole you must check out his first tour going electric(guitar,bass,etc.) with the majority of the line up of who would simply known as the Band,minus Levon Helm,that is another story another BAND who are a MUST bro A MUST HEAR!!! 😊

Please react to “Tangled in Blue,” “Idiot Wind,” “Meet Me in the Morning,” and/or “Buckets of Rain” by Bob Dylan off his great album Blood on the Tracks. Also, “Girl from the North Country,” and “Don’t Think Twice, it’s All Right,” off of his album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.

There’s such wisdom and maturity in this song and he wrote it when he was maybe 22?!

Have you ever listened to Blues Traveler? This guy wore a jacket that held 10 or 12 harmonicas. RIP The mountains win again, runaround, and hook are some of my favorites. Love and peace!

Bob has written some of the most pointent songs of our time. Check out 'Lay. Lady, Lay' and 'The Times They Are A-Changin' '

You should check out "The lonesome death of Hattie Carrol" by Bob Dylan. True story of a woman killed by a rich white man who basically walked away. Bob Dylan wrote some real socially conscious songs back then and made a lot of people at the top pretty uncomfortable.

Please do Bob Dylan Every Grain of Sand

Best harmonica solo ever done is in the song Refuge, by an artist named Steven Wilson. Don't believe me? We can fight over it.

I have seen Bob Dylan in concert

Dude you nail every reaction man, I’ve been having a great time watching as you cover all this great music (music that for me is absolutely indispensable) keep ‘em coming! Also, as a side note, since you love the harmonica you HAVE to check out Whammer Jammer by the J. Geils band

Such diversity in his songs. One of the gifts that made him who he is. Two of my favorites that show his diversity are Lay Lady Lay and Rainy Day Women #12 And 35. SHON.....If you haven't already, check them both out. Thanks.

Great reaction. There are hundreds of Dylan songs that you don't know and that you will love.

He's talking about a shallow snob losing it due to karma and getting woke up fast. It feels Great 👍 Thanks Bob for telling it straight ❤️

💙DYLAN💙

For pure poetic genius check out ‘Its Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleeding’

I've loved this song for a long time, now that i hear it today it's hitting my because of an interview with Dylan lately where he said he made a pact with the Devil. Wow!

You wanna hear the harmonica?!! Check out The Blues Traveler, "Hook"! It's an amazing song & be sure to check out the lyrics!!

No like Bob before or since. He's just utterly sublime - great reaction to him ;)

Excellent reaction SHON and you nailed it he is definitely a songwriter and he has wrote for other people and other people's done his songs as covers too ✌🏼👍🏼👏🏼 yep Bob's tha man

This song in part was part of the reason for the naming of the Rollig stone magazine. It was names for the saying a rolling stone gathers no moss but also in part due to this song as well along with Muddy waters 1950s song, Rolling stone. This song "Like a rolling stone" is legendary in the musical world.

The Gratest rock song, ever!

Bob wrote all his own music ,as well as for others its him on the harmonica .a man of many talents . ck out Alices Restaurant . enjoy this journey .Oh knocking on heavens door .great one /

Bob Dylan is a poet. I suggest "The Times They Are A Changin'" and "Shooting Star" for more fantastic Dylan.

Dylan is a genius lyricist🤘❤️🤭🤭🤭dylan can dis as well as anyone

Bob wrote all his songs.

This is one of my favorite songs EVER. My parents had this album (vinyl) since well before I was born and I remember singing along (every word) before I was old enough to be in school. It's only gotten better as I got older and really started feeling what the lyrics were about. And it's catchy as hell.

❤❤❤ he was a lyrical genius ❤❤❤ My favorite line was about the Siamese cat which I owned back then

great to see you getting back to Dylan, for more harmonica you want Mr Tambourine Man, and Blowing in the wind. for some 60s rap you want... Its All Right ma, and Subterranean homesick blues. for one of the best ever protest songs you want Masters of war.

The times they are a changin by Bob I think you'll love lyrically

This is one of the major albums of the 60s, react to every song, order the CD, check out "It's Alright Ma", "Mr. Tambourine Man" live at Newport, "Only a Pawn in the Game", "The Times They Are A Changin'", "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll", "I Want You", this is all must -hear stuff. Love your reactions and enthusiasm, go buy Marine Band harp!

This song is a classic. I'm not a huge fan but I love this song. If you want to hear the harmonica you definitely need to check out another living legend who's name is Neil Young.

My pick for the greatest Rock song evah! Great reaction got my subscription.

60's music....just the best!!! Good job Shon!

You are very likable and intelligent. I’m old and I wish you owned a shirt. Just sayin’.

Hey shon,your reactions are awesome, absolutely love you discovering new music,im going through extremely tough times and you shine a bright light on my life,keep up the great work brother

I also love his classic folksong which still is as relevant as today. as it was when he wrote it It's called THE TIMES ARE A CHANGING...esposes so many truths Pls. react to it.

Want harmonica? Check out Midnight Cowboy (1969) - Harmonica Theme. Midnight Cowboy was the best movie of 1969. The harmonica is very nostalgic, almost haunting. You'll love it for sure.

A beautiful "fall from Grace" song is Mr. BoJangles. Dylan does a version, so does Sammy Davis,and the original guy (whose name I forget).

The very deepest “rabbit holes” you can ever fall into in modern music are Dylan and the Beatles! Peace (If you love harmonica, check out James Cotton and Charlie Musslewhite!)
