Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hr3Stnk8_k

Description: Bob Dylan slouches on a shabby apartment stoop at 4 Gramercy Park West, a snarling poet in a royal-blue jacket, looking like he’s just stepped out of the very back pages he was busy rewriting. The “Highway 61 Revisited” cover catches him mid-transition—from folk prophet to electric provocateur—on a quiet, leafy Manhattan block that feels a world away from the uproar he was about to unleash. Standing at the spot today, you can almost hear the clatter of “Like a Rolling Stone” echoing off the brownstone facades, the moment when rock lyrics suddenly got dangerous and literary. It’s one of the New York stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
