He didn't know the name of the scruffy singer who had a bit part in a Joan Baez concert, but he knew his performance was unique. So began a dedicated and enduring relationship between America's finest critic of popular music -- simply peerless, in Nick Hornby's words, not only as a rock writer but as a cultural historian -- and Bob Dylan. In \u003ci\u003eLike A Rolling Stone \u003c\/i\u003e Marcus locates Dylan's six-minute masterwork in its richest, fullest context, capturing the heady atmosphere of the recording studio in 1965 as musicians and technicians clustered around the mercurial genius from Minnesota, the young Bob Dylan at the height of his powers.\u003cbr\u003e But Marcus shows how, far from being a song only of 1965, Like a Rolling Stone is rooted in faraway American places and times, drawing on timeless cultural impulses that make the song as challenging, disruptive, and restless today as it ever was, capable of reinvention by artists as disparate as the comedian Richard Belzer and the Italian hip-hop duo Articolo 31. Like a Rolling Stone never loses its essential quality, which is directly to challenge the listener: it remains a call to arms and a demand for a better world. Forty years later it is still revolutionary as will and idea, as an attack and an embrace. How Does it Feel? In this unique, burningly intense book, Marcus tells you, and much more besides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreil Marcus\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBob Dylan by Greil Marcus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhen that Rough God Goes Riding, The Shape of Things to Come, Mystery Train, Dead Elvis, In the Fascist Bathroom, Double Trouble, Like a Rolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Old Weird America\u003c\/i\u003e; a twentieth anniversary edition of his book \u003ci\u003eLipstick Traces\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 2009. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With Werner Sollors he is the editor of \u003ci\u003eA New Literary History of America\u003c\/i\u003e, published last year by Harvard University Press.
