Chapter 4 Like a Rolling Stone OVERVIEW: In the early 1960’s the initial baby boomers were approaching college age. To them, the election of John F. Kennedy marked a new, more idealistic era. The next three years would witness the Bay of Pigs Invasion, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights movement and the Free Speech Movement. To many teenagers, dance music seemed somehow shallow and trivial. College students began listening to dust-bowl era folksingers/balladeers such as Pete Seeger and developed an affinity with 1950’s Beat poets as a way of coming to terms with the turmoil and conflict in this new world. The new ideals were personal authenticity, individuality, and non-conformity. 1 Fidel Castro (1926-2016 ) John F.

Quite often the center of controversy during the early to mid 1960’s, Bob Dylan bridged the gap beteen folk music and rock and roll. In 1965, amidst boos and heckles, he performed ith a rock back up band Paul Butterfield Blues Band at the Neport Rhode Island Folk Festival, effectively starting the folk-rock movement. Dylan’s merging of social consciousness ith rock and roll started a trend that culminated ith Woodstock generation performers such as Crosby, Stills and Nash. Selected songs include “Times They Are A-Changin’”, “Subterranean Homesick Blues”, “Maggie’s Farm”, “Like A Rolling Stone”, “Positively 4th Street”, “Rainy Day Women, Nos. 12 &35”, “I Want You”, “Lay Lady Lay”, and “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”. 11 he eeheein’ Bob Dylan: he was reese 27, 1963 The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall First performed September 22, 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis October 14–2, 1962 “I didn’t kno ho many other songs I could rite during the Cuban thing. very line in it is actually the start of a hole ne song … I thought I ouldnt have enough time alive to rite all those songs so I put all I could into this one. 12 Bn 65-1969 oalonous messa on ll yb o an oll o o a nanally n v o o : Fol-o L.A n o l 13 Da Gen on o yl reo 14 Fol-oalona ony o ds Buo ingid os tis nd s Nei Yong i oison (Th oos gs n appa oni it s nd t ss iot James o Jacson on ind onstdt oing oon Ameri 15 Fol-Rock:The Byrds: L.A’s answer to the Beatles The Byrds (1965) otab embs Rog Mcinn git vos id osy git vos od in 64 t Byrds t ist sssf nd innti olk- rock band.
