It was on this day, 61 years ago, that Dylan released "Like a Rolling Stone," five weeks after completing the recording at Studio A of Columbia Records in New York City.
Upon its release, "Like a Rolling Stone" quickly stood out given its unusually long length of 6:13. In those days, songs played on the radio were usually around three minutes long, as the New York Times noted in 2004.
For its rankings of the 500 greatest songs ever in 2004, Rolling Stone ranked "Like a Rolling Stone" No. 1.
It maintained the top spot for the updated rankings in 2010, though Rolling Stone most recently listed it as the fourth-best song ever in 2024.

"What Urologists Think of the Military's New Testosterone Testing Policy
Doctors specializing in men's health are divided as to whether people who don't have symptoms of low testosterone should be tested for the condition. Many doctors also urge men to be cautious about taking TRT, which can stall sperm production and cause infertility.
"There's no free lunch. There are side effects," says Dr. Jeff Morrison, a urologist at the University of Colorado. "If you are interested in further fertility, then TRT is probably not a good option."
Morrison says he ensures that his patients"particularly younger men in their 30s and 40s"are counseled about TRT's potential adverse effects, which also include an increased risk of blood clots, acne, breast tenderness, and irritability. TRT is also generally considered a long-term or lifelong treatment.
Hegseth didn't mention TRT's side effects or the long-term nature of the treatment in the video, and he did not discuss alternative interventions, such as lifestyle changes, that can raise testosterone levels.
"It's not recommended by the American Urological Association or the Endocrine Society to routinely screen people," says Dr. Ajay Nangia, professor of urology at the University of Kansas Health System. Primary care doctors do not routinely test men's testosterone levels.
"The recommendation by Mr. Hegseth goes against these guidelines.""

"July 20 is the birthdate of music legends, including the late Buddy Knox (1933), Carlos Santana (1947), Paul Cook (1956) and Stone Gossard (1966). It's also the anniversary of a timeless song's release.
Dylan's signature song was covered by many other legendary musicians and bands, including Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones (fittingly, given the song title), Green Day, Michael Bolton and Nancy Sinatra."
