"While money doesn't talk it swears" is my favorite song line of all time. This song is a masterpiece, kudos to you, Twon, for recognizing greatness...
Bob Dylan walks out to center stage.... Doubleday Field- Cooperstown N.Y. Crowd of around 7,000. He sits down with his guitar and sang the first verse of this masterpiece and the crowd went crazy screaming their approval that Bob stopped playing to say Thank You, then started the song over again. I was about 25 feet away and will never forget the way I felt and the crowds reaction. A Standing Ovation lasted for many minutes before Bob started doing...."Like A Rolling Stone" and that song was beyond description how everyone was blown away. A life changing event for me and my family.
Dylan got the Nobel Prize for literature because of the lyric he put to music. It was shocking that he received. The prize since seldom do they give this award to anyone other than authors.
He wrote this at 23 and he's still performing live at 81. We won't know how great Dylan truly is until he no longer walks the earth. We're all blessed for what he gave the world.
So very glad that you let it flow....through you.....the first time listening. Then break it down son! Absolutely adore watching you hear this! I heard this in my childhood and my Momma always loved poetry, old school Irish and British. While hearing Dylan she said "Why that young man is a modern poet!" I thank the universe for his many contributions 🎶💞🎶
Brilliant songwriting. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in poetry. He's one hell of a poet. His acceptance speech was awesome. How can anyone not love Dylan? Loved watching your face as you listened to this. It's a personal favorite. Society in a nutshell. I feel this is superior to The Times They Are a'Changin'. However, his best lyrics, for my money, are in It's a Hard Rain Gonna Fall. The images in that song are breathtaking.
So glad you blessed your ears with this masterpiece Twon, yes he was "rappin" way back then and as far as I'm concerned this is better than any rap song for its "bars" . You can try to break it down but you will be spending a long time trying...lol. Iv'e been listening to it forever and still trying to...lol. You might wanna try "Desolation Row or A Hard Rains a Gonna Fall" next..they are masterpieces as well.
What was Jimmie Rodgers? Woody Guthrie? Hank Williams? Ray Charles? Roy Orbison? Chuck Berry? Buddy Holly? Sam Cooke? Johnny Cash? Little Richard? Loretta Lynn? Carl Perkins? They all wrote many or most of their hits.
@leonardshevlin7260 I'm a Bob Dylan fanatic but yeah, your right. He might be the most prolific singer/songwriter, but he was by no means the first. He mentions Woodie Guthrie and Johnny Cash as influences in multiple songs. He was certainly good, but not the first.
@@leonardshevlin7260 Right, Bob Dylan didn't invent singer-songwriting. The whole folk thing was based on that. But, as a Woody Guthrie fan, I have to point out that writing songs about the benefits of river dams has nearly nothing in common lyrically with what Bob Dylan did in songs like this.
Bob was and is an icon from the 60’s thru today. It’s so great to see the next generation become fans. He caught hell for changing from folk to electric but I have loved his music thru all of his changes. Lyrically, the best I have ever heard and the fact that he writes the music, plays the music, and jumps of on different tangents and still stays relevant is a true mark of a master.
Enjoyed this a whole lot…great reaction. He was so current then and even more now. That is the legacy of great poetry I guess. And if you feel the need, then by ALL means, go ahead and break it down!! Lay, Lady, Lay is lovely as well, along with so many others, you can’t go wrong. Peace. ♥️
Good Luck "breaking it down" ~ many have tried since Dylan came on the scene and are still learning more every time morphs into his next "being." Everyone will have their own take on what his lyrics mean. The man is still a genius !
Just subbed, I've been listening to Dylan for years, but I have never really heard this song, it is SUBLIME, it's just TOO GOOD.. I find myself listening to each section over and over again..
Did he stand out like this? Yes, he did. There’s a story that David Crosby (of the Byrds, and Crosby Stills and Nash) saw Dylan sing Mr. Tambourine Man and almost quit music because of how on another level it was. Joni Mitchell has a similar feel with her lyrics, I think you’d dig her.
I see myself reacting to Bob 55+ years ago. Good on you young brother. It is good to see a young person discovering Bob and grasping the meaning and understanding the continuing relevance of his poetry. Rather than rap it is more of what was called "spoken word" poetry long ago when I was young :-) It came out of the 50s Beatnik culture. May I suggest you dive deeper and listen to Masters of War, Desolation Row, Subterranean Homesick Blues, and more. For another master wordsmith of similar style and skill level check out Gil-Scott Heron. The Bottle, Gun, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. The Bloods I hung out with in the Corps in the 60s turned me on to Gil and I turned them on to Bob. Fair Exchange.
Loved the reaction and hope you'll do more Dylan - check out Masters of War, God on our Side, A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall, Lay Lady Lay - oh, I could go on and on!! Enjoy!
In high school, my friends all thought I was crazy for listening to Bob Dylan... like, how can you stand that guy, he can't even sing! But I didn't care. I thought I knew a lot about Dylan, but then one day my friend gave me an 8-track of Bringing It All Back Home. He said, "This is my Dad's tape. I told him that you like Bob Dylan, and he said that you should check out this album.". I did, and sure enough, I got to the song It's Alright Ma, and my jaw hit the floor, totally blown away by the power and rhythm of the words and delivery. Almost 50 years later, and this song still gives me the chills. Awesome reaction video...I see that you are moved by this song, much as I was!
Bob writes lyrics like he invented words. And while he was the only one to do things the way he did, Dylan stood on some shoulders... such as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger to name a couple. But nobody's like Dylan.
In later years he rarely gave interviews "Never trust the artist - trust the tale". He does a stupendous version of "Alright Ma" on "Live at Budokan". One of the greatest live albums ever made in my opinion - his band back then was red hot.
I'm so happy you are discovering some of my favorite music. Try to imagine what it was like to first hear this back in 1965, it seemed like it was from a different planet compared to the top 25 that was played on the radio.
I was blown away by Dylan's wordplay first time I heard this. Certain lyrics stand out - 'don't hate nothing at all except hatred', and 'money doesn't talk, it swears'.
A young person would call those “bars” and I see why. That’s how he related to them. In todays times they are bars, and badass bars at great. Nobody like Dylan. The poetry was masterful. ✌️☺️
Your reactions to Dylan and true understanding of his lyrics is so refreshing. Been listening to Dylan since 60’s, always relevant and sad commentary that society is unchanged since the 60’s
He was the only one doing this at the time he was a revolutionary and change songwriting and the rest the music industry had to catch up. He has always been years ahead of the times
@@rosslynemrys5829 Yes, Woody Guthrie was Bob Dylan’s progenitor. Like Woody, Bob wanted to be the People’s Troubadour. He was not interested in signing up for anyone’s agenda, even politically. You can hear this on the interviews he gave.
This rabbit hole you got into is massive and awesome. I think you're doing it right by going through the decades with Bob and into the 2000s. There's just so much! Keep at it young man.
Loved your reaction! Great to see Dylan rediscovered again by younger folks! Yes, he was the first real rapper! His body of work was powerful and could be written today as it stands the test of time. We still need to listen to his message! Thank u!
That was one of Dad's albums I took from the house to where I spent my time with a big record player and speakers I got (8o's). He is definitely great to listen to )
♥ Dylan - Check out these other Dylan songs: Tangled Up In Blue, Shelter From The Storm, Visions of Johanna, Things Have Changed, Hurricane & It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Most excellent choice. This is the exact same way I felt the first time I heard this and I a 63 and white. Keep up the good work. There is only 1 Dylan
You seem to be really touched by this. Just like me. Heard it first time `66, it got burned into my deepest memory - and, when i recite it to myself, it still gives me the shivers. No, there was no one around then, who wrote stuff like this.
You must check out Gil Scott-Heron, he has been called the grandfather of rap although he eschewed that label. More like spoken word poetry as in The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
It’s blows the mind to think of Dylan as one of the greatest rappers ever.
You don’t break Bob down, he breaks you down. 👍✌🏼
This one is so hauntingly timeless it's straight up scary.
I think this is Dylan's baddest song ever.. It's a gift to listen to .. Just enjoy..
"While money doesn't talk it swears" is my favorite song line of all time. This song is a masterpiece, kudos to you, Twon, for recognizing greatness...
“Subterranean Homesick Blues” 🔥
With video - a must!
The only songwriter to win the Nobel Prize for Literature: simply stunning!
Bob Dylan was a poet before he was a musician
There is no one like Bob Dylan! A national treasure! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, he was the only one writing lyrics like that back then, and ever since.
One man!!!
No drums
No bass.
Like he sittin' on our couch!!!
Shakespeare with a guitar!!

"He not busy being born is busy dying"
Nice reaction, keep it up
Yes. He stood out alone even back then.
Dylan got the Nobel Prize for literature because of the lyric he put to music. It was shocking that he received. The prize since seldom do they give this award to anyone other than authors.
Makes me cry. Dylan is truly a gift. His Talent and genious is astounding.
A Hard Rain's a-gonna Fall" and "Masters of War" are two cuttingly beautiful songs of his.
I'd say "Masters of War" is his angriest song.
A remarkable reaction ! There wasn’t anyone I know of like Bob Dylan. Brilliant 💫
You ability to recognise this greatness totally impressed me. One of a kind. Thank you my friend. ✌️💕
Please listen to “ Ya gotta serve somebody”. I got lost in the sauce to this beautiful recording.
@@dianegoldeneye7363
Slow Train too, great song and album ✨
@@michele-33 yes, it’s off the slow train album and Serve Somebody was recorded at Muscle Shoals. Fab background singers and musicianship 🎵✌️
He wrote this at 23 and he's still performing live at 81. We won't know how great Dylan truly is until he no longer walks the earth. We're all blessed for what he gave the world.

Agreed
Well said. It gave me great pleasure watching this young man have such a visceral reaction to one of Dylan's greatest songs..
@@thorsluter7835 oh yes! Absolutely!
Bob knew how to spit poetic as f lyrics. Deep as f too. Bob's bars bless the ears...
PS you will love 'subterranean homesick blues' by Dylan.
Thank you
If I'm not mistaken this was the last song in the movie EASY RIDER.
Brilliant songwriting. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in poetry. He's one hell of a poet. His acceptance speech was awesome. How can anyone not love Dylan?

Yep he did
Dylan has written so many great songs that I wouldn't even begin to try to rate them, I just enjoy the greatness that feeds my current mood.
@@thorsluter7835 Whatever works for you. There can surely be no wrong way to enjoy Dylan.
Nobel price in literature. But Ye, he is one great poet
Actually it was for literature.
Bob Dylan is the greatest in the world. No one before or after in my opinion.
Dylan is unparalleled.
This is one of those songs where I hear something new every time I listen to it.
So glad you blessed your ears with this masterpiece Twon, yes he was "rappin" way back then and as far as I'm concerned this is better than any rap song for its "bars" . You can try to break it down but you will be spending a long time trying...lol. Iv'e been listening to it forever and still trying to...lol. You might wanna try "Desolation Row or A Hard Rains a Gonna Fall" next..they are masterpieces as well.
HURRICANE
HURRICANE
HURRICANE
HURRICANE
Amen. Best in the world
Dylan is the Best, period.
Listen to a song that ,"fits our country" Masters of War.
You got it, nobody spit it like Bob, before during or after, truth.
Desolation Row for me, or Visions of Johanna, but I love this also, your reaction priceless.
Agreed.
Agree
His delivery his phrasing and songwriting are insane
Yes he was the only one doing it like this. He pretty much invented "singer-songwriter". Hard for people our age to imagine his impact on the 60s/70s.
Wanted to scroll through the comments before I made a similar post, no one was doing what Dylan did at the time. Though many followed...
@@thorsluter7835 dITTO!!! lol
What was Jimmie Rodgers? Woody Guthrie? Hank Williams? Ray Charles? Roy Orbison? Chuck Berry? Buddy Holly? Sam Cooke? Johnny Cash? Little Richard? Loretta Lynn? Carl Perkins?

The wildest fact about this song is that it came out in '65. This is one of the men responsible for Rock & Roll
ALL HIS SONGS...tells a story BUT it all rhymes.
Shakespeare with a guitar...!!!
Leonard Cohen was another who was around then and has a similar talking/ singing voice and a beautiful poet. RIP LC
Dylan and Cohen two of the best, and they had a bit of a rivalry going in the 70's.
Bob was and is an icon from the 60’s thru today. It’s so great to see the next generation become fans. He caught hell for changing from folk to electric but I have loved his music thru all of his changes.

Master Harmonica player too 😁
"Positively 4th Street" is a cool Dylan hit too. Lots of meaning in it.
My favorite Bob Dylan song!!
One of the best "fuck you" songs ever written and he didn't even need to say the words explicitly
Enjoyed this a whole lot…great reaction. He was so current then and even more
now. That is the legacy of great poetry I guess. And if you feel the need, then by
ALL means, go ahead and break it down!! Lay, Lady, Lay is lovely as well, along
with so many others, you can’t go wrong. Peace. ♥️

God's masterpiece. Awesome.
Beautiful reaction. Amazing song. Hate Hatred!!!
Yes. Bob has always been Uber unique.
Just subbed, I've been listening to Dylan for years, but I have never really heard this song, it is SUBLIME, it's just TOO GOOD.. I find myself listening to each section over and over again..
Man, most honest reaction I've seen yet.
Thank you for reacting to this song!
One of the first rappers

Joni Mitchell has a similar feel with her lyrics, I think you’d dig her.
Joni despised Dylan.
I would suggest “A Hard Rain Is Gonna Fall” by Dylan 😎👍. I enjoyed your reaction.
Yes! Another iconic piece of genius from our man Bob D.! There's sooooo many..
Long time favorite of mine . In my younger days I could remember all the words. Lot to decipher; what was spoken was true then and is today.
Bro...rhyming for 60 yrs .
Mfer is unreal genius!!!!

Great comment and Observation. The Last Poets should be rediscovered by this generation.
Loved the reaction and hope you'll do more Dylan - check out Masters of War, God on our Side, A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall, Lay Lady Lay - oh, I could go on and on!! Enjoy!
For a lesser known great, "Up To Me" would be another good one...
Masters of War, I can’t forget the first time I heard it and it’s still relevant, it may have always been and will always be. Heartbreaking.
@@annsonnenberger6158 So true - as are so many of his songs. How little we've come and how much farther we have to go!
One man..
No drums

SHAKESPEARE with a guitar!!!
Bob Dylan is so great

.."Why is so good?"..gets me laughing everytime .p.s yes he the only one!!!
Dylan is a genius, period, lyrically these never been anyone like him.
ONE MAN !!
No drums
No bass
Like he is on our couch....
Love seeing your mind just blown by Bob Dylan
Only musician to ever win Nobel Peace Prize...
Nobel prize for Literature not peace
And he’s playing guitar while delivering those lyrics.
Nobel Prize for literature..
WHAT..lol he's a guitar player!!!!
In later years he rarely gave interviews "Never trust the artist - trust the tale".
He does a stupendous version of "Alright Ma" on "Live at Budokan".
One of the greatest live albums ever made in my opinion - his band back then was red hot.
Money don't talk, it swears
He is a poet! If you haven’t heard Blowin In The Wind please listen! My third grade teacher played it for us in 1970!!
He's a genius writer period. Glad you appreciate his lyrics.
I'm so happy you are discovering some of my favorite music. Try to imagine what it was like to first hear this back in 1965, it seemed like it was from a different planet compared to the top 25 that was played on the radio.

Bobs best!
Your reactions to Dylan and true understanding of his lyrics is so refreshing. Been listening to Dylan since 60’s, always relevant and sad commentary that society is unchanged since the 60’s
Really great poetry lives in your mind and comes back to you years later with fresh meaning.
He was the only one doing this at the time he was a revolutionary and change songwriting and the rest the music industry had to catch up. He has always been years ahead of the times
This song style is the "talking blues" a precursor to rap
Along with Woody's talkin' blues
@@rosslynemrys5829 Yes, Woody Guthrie was Bob Dylan’s progenitor. Like Woody, Bob wanted to be the People’s Troubadour. He was not interested in signing up

It's A Hard Rain Gonna Fall...just brilliant.
Subterranean Homesick Blues - the VIDEO - is a MUST by Bob. Early rap!
This rabbit hole you got into is massive and awesome. I think you're doing it right by going through the decades with Bob and into the 2000s. There's just so much! Keep at it young man.

I really love how genuinely you are listening so intently! It's a gold mine! Keep digging...
When it comes to art of any kind it is rare to invent something absolutely new.
Dylan is a revolution from one line to the next. And its "the times they are are a changin".
That was one of Dad's albums I took from the house to where I spent my time with a big record player and speakers I got (8o's). He is definitely great to listen to )
Nobody else was anything like this. He is a genius. No comparisons.

There is only one Bob Dylan. Every thousand years we get a miracle man. Errr, miracle PERSON.

Most excellent choice. This is the exact same way I felt the first time I heard this and I a 63 and white. Keep up the good work. There is only 1 Dylan
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much Love & Gratitude for your reaction! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what Genius sounds like
A mans words to great to hear.
Absurdly sublime - there is no one like him ;)
You seem to be really touched by this. Just like me. Heard it first time `66, it got burned into my deepest memory - and, when i recite it to myself, it still gives me the shivers.
No, there was no one around then, who wrote stuff like this.
7:18
Sorry but what a beautiful human expression. Like totally unguarded and absolutely beautiful
You must check out Gil Scott-Heron, he has been called the grandfather of rap although he eschewed that label. More like spoken word poetry as in The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
Good luck breakin' it down, I gave up 55 years ago. & satisfied myself by saying, "It's poetry" !!!
not only does he do it.... he do it best.... nobody laid down the tablets like this cat in modern music.
