Context

This line is from the song "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan from the album Highway 61 Revisited (1965).

Back when Bob Dylan was understandable, his voice changed the world. This song, and these words especially, redefined rock and roll. 

There are entire books about this song, so all we'll say here is that it was revolutionary.

Where you've heard it

This song is a notable music magazine's #1 song of all time. The magazine? Rolling Stone, of course.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

While the original quote from Dylan's mouth isn't pretentious, be careful if you're repeating it. If you're going to cover this song, you better know exactly what you're doing. It's like trying to rewrite War and Peace.
