MUS 354 Part 2 Facts Exam CH 6-8
the year that rock matured - correct answer ✔1965


The two acts most responsible for elevating rock's level of discourse and
expanding its horizons - correct answer ✔Bob Dylan and The Beatles


When Did Bob Dylan and The Beatles first meet face-to-face? - correct
answer ✔Aug. 28th, 1964


-The Beatles were on tour in the United States and staying at the Delmonico
Hotel in New York.


-Somewhat later during that same year, Dylan was driving through Colorado
when he heard the Beatles for the first time over the radio.


-It was Lennon who requested the meeting, through Al Aronowitz, a columnist
for the New York Post, who brought Dylan down from Woodstock.


Explain the Beatles' and Bob Dylan's mutual appreciation for each other -
correct answer ✔-The Beatles had acquired The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
while in Paris in January 1964; according to George Harrison, they wore the
record out, listening to it over and over. John Lennon, in particular, seemed
drawn to Dylan's gritty sound and rebellious attitude.


-Somewhat later during that same year, Dylan was driving through Colorado
when he heard the Beatles for the first time over the radio. Later he would
say, "I knew they were pointing the direction where music had to go." Each
had something that the other wanted and perhaps found intimidating: the
Beatles, and especially Lennon, wanted Dylan's forthrightness; Dylan

,responded to the power of their kind of rock and envied the Beatles'
commercial success.


-Later, in explaining their musical breakthrough in the mid-sixties, McCartney
said, "We were only trying to please Dylan."


-the meeting gave Dylan the motivation to go electric, "Bringing it all Back
Home" (1965) ushered in his era as a rock musician


How were the Beatles introduced to weed? What impact did that have on their
music? - correct answer ✔-Dylan most likely introduced them when they first
met


-As Paul McCartney later recalled, "Till then, we'd been hard Scotch and Coke
men. It sort of changed that evening."


-gave way to the introspective and sensual moods captured in their music
(from weed and LSD)


At what point did The Beatles' music become most influential (with regard to
their previous work) - correct answer ✔from Rubber Soul on


How were Dylan and The Beatles similar? - correct answer ✔They both
came to rock from the outside (one from folk, the others from Liverpool) and
stretched rock to its limits


What was special about Dylan's "Bringing it all Back Home"? - correct answer
✔One side was acoustic, the other was electric (it was an LP, offering the
ideal format for this type of record).

,-he moves forward by returning to his roots as a rock musician


-it was the end of the beginning; he effectively ended his folk career, and
began his career as a rock legend


What song did the Byrds cover from "Bringing it all Back Home", and why was
it significant? - correct answer ✔They covered "Mr. Tambourine Man" in
1965, one month after Dylan's version was released


-The success of the single—it topped the charts in June—inspired Dylan to
seek out a more commercially promising path.


Describe Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" - correct answer ✔-features just his
singing, harmonica and guitar accompaniment, plus another guitar playing an
obbligato line. The song combines a catchy melody and memorable refrain
("Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me") with impressionistic lyrics
("evening's empire," "magic swirlin' ship," "skippin' reels of rhyme," "twisted
reach of crazy sorrow," "circled by the circus sands"), and the perfect sixties
symbol: a pied piper leading a group of hip individuals to a new level of
consciousness.


-opened popular music up to a radically new kind of lyric. Country, folk, and
blues lyrics were direct, as we have seen and heard. Pop-song lyrics could be
sophisticated; rock-and-roll lyrics could talk nonsense ("Da Doo Ron Ron") or
capture the essence of teenage angst ("Not Fade Away"). But none had been
surreal.


Which of Dylan's songs was his first single to chart? - correct answer
✔"Subterranean Homesick Blues", from "Bringing it all Back Home"


-his albums fared way better than his singles

, -it reached No. 39.


The Byrds - correct answer ✔-came together in the summer of 1964 to form
what would become the first folk-rock band.


-The original lineup included guitarists Jim (later Roger) McGuinn, Gene
Clark, and David Crosby; bassist Chris Hillman; and drummer Mike Clarke.


-McGuinn, Clark, and Crosby had formed a folk trio in Los Angeles in late
1963, which went nowhere. Adding Hillman and Clarke changed their sound
and put them on the cutting edge of the mix between folk and rock.


Compare the Byrd's "Mr. Tambourine Man" with Dylan's version - correct
answer ✔-Dylan's version is acoustic. The Byrds' cover uses a full band,
including McGuinn's electric 12-string guitar.


-Dylan's version lasts five minutes and thirty seconds; the Byrds' version lasts
only two minutes and twenty-nine seconds. And even that difference is
deceptive, because the Byrds' recording has a slower tempo and includes
McGuinn's introductory riff, which also serves as an extended tag.


-The Byrds' version is also much more like a rock song in form. Two
statements of the refrain frame just one of the four verses. This truncated
version cut out over half of the lyrics—precisely the element that had made
the song so special for Dylan fans. But the expanded instrumentation, simpler
form, and slower tempo gave the song much wider appeal.


-McGuinn's famous opening riff, played on a 12-string guitar, seemed to evoke
the "jingle-jangle" of the refrain.
