The Rolling Stones (which names themselves after this song) also have an innovative video for their cover:

It's 183,000 photographs, morphed into each other.



Citation needed. The Rolling Stones started in '62. Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" is from '65.

Wikipedia attribute the band's name to the Muddy Waters song, "Rollin' Stone".


I didn't say Dylan's version of the song was original, just that the Rolling Stones are named after it.

Sure. Here are two, from the wikipedia article you just read:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones#CITEREFNelso...

- Jagger, Mick; Richards, Keith; Watts, Charlie; Wood, Ronnie (2003). According to the Rolling Stones. San Francisco, California: Chronicle Books. ISBN 9780811840606. p42

- Nelson, Murray N. (2010). The Rolling Stones: A Musical Biography. Santa Barbara, California: Greenwood. ISBN 9780313380341. p3.


Like A Rolling Stone is most definitely an original Bob Dylan song. Dylan may have been inspired by Muddy Waters at best.


That number doesn't sound right. It's a 4:21 minute long video, or 261 seconds. At 30 frames per second, that's only 7,830 frames for the whole video.

Maybe that was the total source material they filtered through?
