Re: This didn't age well
Like A Rolling Stone was released as a single in the UK and made the top ten, possibly top five so no accounting for the taste of the record buying even in the 60's
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

It entered the UK chart three weeks after that article, and climbed to No 4. It was his biggest selling single, on both sides of the Atlantic.
Bob Darbarn and the Melody Maker he edited had their roots in jazz, and had their work cut out keeping up with the British pop scene. Electric folk/rock would have been totally alien.

When I first heard it I thought it was fantastic and still do.Bob Dylan changed things some people don't like that.
Re: This didn't age well
Never a fan of Dylan. Just a little young and my big bro was a fan, the latter more important than the former, we were always out of sync. He nearly passed out when I bought The Man Who Sold The World and as for The New York Dolls...
Having said that I do have the Blood On The Tracks album somewhere and Street Legal for some reason....

She broke her leg and needed shooting
I swear it hurt me more than it could ever have hurted her
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.

Pollution
All around
Sometimes up
And sometimes down
But always around.
Pollution, are you coming to my town?
Or am I coming to yours?
We're on different buses, pollution
But we're both using petrol bombs
Almost Dylanesque...
