The song, released in 1965 on the album Highway 61 Revisited, made Dylan a star and was a worldwide hit. Audiences, critics, and even Dylan's contemporaries have made note of this record in the history of popular music. It is considered one of the greatest songs ever written and recorded. The song was based on a lengthy piece of verse written by Bob Dylan. Unlike other lyricists of that era, Dylan wrote long pieces of poetry and then selected the best bits to include in the song. "Like a Rolling Stone" was no exception. Dylan himself claims that he wrote it in a fit of anger, hence the song's angry and confrontational lyrics and vocals. The iconic chorus, "How does it feel" has been quoted as one of the most impactful lines in music history. The song's musical structure is noteworthy because of the elements that fuse to make this song. Despite being an angry song, Dylan's vocals lend it a youthful touch. The song departs from the folk-country stuff Dylan was putting out in those days. In fact, he had been confused about the song's musical direction. Only when it was finally laid down like a rock song did Dylan approve of and record the song. Its famous organ riff was improvised by session musician Al Kooper, who was just finding his feet in the industry at the time. The song's length, at over six minutes, caught the ire of radio stations. Though they didn't tend to play long songs, "Like a Rolling Stone" became a hit and reached number 2 on the Billboard charts. Even the Beatles have been known to appreciate its significance and importance in music history. From then till now, the song retains its popularity and is considered to be Bob Dylan's signature track. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

Even Jews who do not necessarily observe other Jewish holidays typically take part in Yom Kippur. Observing Yom Kippur usually involves twenty-five hours of prayer and fasting. The fast begins the night before Yom Kippur at sunset and ends in the evening on the holiday. Jews typically spend most of the day at the synagogue. The holiday takes place on the tenth month on the Jewish calendar. On the Gregorian calendar, the date varies from mid- to late- September through early October. The holiday never falls on Tuesday, Sunday, or Friday. Yom Kippur is all about repenting for sins, and Jews typically wear white to symbolize their purification from sins. The basic idea is that this holiday each year marks the day God seals their fate in the Book of Life. It's nine days after Rosh Hashanah, which is the day when Jews believe that God inscribes their name in the Book of Life. Yom Kippur is essentially a last attempt to repent and be absolved by God for all their sins. Traditionally, there are a number of restrictions placed on Jews during this holiday. They are not allowed to drink anything (including water), bathe, wear leather shoes, or wear cosmetics. They are also not to have marital relations on this holiday. Within the United States, some synagogues are more conservative, strictly observing these laws, while others are more liberal about these laws and other observances of Jewish holidays. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!
