Hey there, I hope that you're doing well!\xa0In honor of the rise of Bob Dylan\u2019s breakthrough single, \u201cLike a Rolling Stone\u201d hitting the pop charts on July 24, 1965,\xa0I wanted to get ahead of next week's news cycle to see if you might be interested in hosting Scott G. Shea, leading music historian and author of the best-selling book, \u201cAll the Leaves Are Brown: How the Mamas Came Together and Broke Apart,\u201d\xa0on your show to discuss how the song and the artist impacted western music and culture. Before the world heard that song, Dylan was far from mainstream and relevant in mostly small metropolitan and university music circles. "Like a Rolling Stone" changed all that. Along with the Byrds and the Lovin\u2019 Spoonful, he ushered in the era we now know as folk-rock.\xa0Scott is available to discuss the significance of the song\u2019s impact and uniqueness. Along with the Byrds and the Lovin\u2019 Spoonful, Bob Dylan helped usher in the genre we now know as folk-rock, which Scott describes as the first successful and significant U.S. response to the British Invasion led by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Scott can address the unlikeliness of the song\u2019s popularity. Dylan\u2019s vocals were raw and unorthodox in comparison to most hit singers in the history of pop music and the single clocked in at an astounding 6:07, shattering the previous record held by the Righteous Brothers\u2019 \u201cYou\u2019ve Lost That Lovin\u2019 Feeling,\u201d which clocked in at 3:45. The needs of radio station programmers were now irrelevant to musical artists.\xa0
