Rock journalism pioneer Aronowitz dies aged 77
02/08/2005

Al Aronowitz, a US pioneer of rock journalism who introduced Bob Dylan to the Beatles, died yesterday in Elizabeth, New Jersey, his son said. He was 77.

Aronowitz died of cancer, said his son, Joel Roi Aronowitz.

Al Aronowitz became a journalist after studying at Rutgers University in the mid-1950s. In 1959, at the New York Post, he wrote a 12-part series on the “beat” movement.

In reporting the series, he became a friend of such early counterculture luminaries as poet Allen Ginsberg and novelist Jack Kerouac. “He really fell into the whole lifestyle,” said Gerry Nicosia, author of the Jack Kerouac biography Memory Babe.

The pieces have been described as early examples of participatory journalism, a technique perfected by better-known writers such as Tom Wolfe and Hunter Thompson.

The 1964 summit of the Beatles and Dylan came about as Aronowitz was covering the British band for the Saturday Evening Post. He also claimed Dylan wrote Mr. Tambourine Man in his kitchen.

In his last years, Aronowitz self-published two books, Bob Dylan and the Beatles and Bobby Darin Was a Friend of Mine. He was working on another, Mick and Miles, about Mick Jagger and Miles Davis, when he died.

Dylan single 'changed the world'

Bob Dylan's song Like a Rolling Stone has topped a poll of rock and film stars to find the music, movies, TV shows and books that changed the world.

The 1965 single beat Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel into second place in the survey for Uncut magazine.

Sir Paul McCartney, Noel Gallagher, Robert Downey Jr, Rolling Stone Keith Richards and Lou Reed were among those who gave their opinions.

Rocker Patti Smith said of the winning song: "It got me through adolescence."

Ex-Beatle Sir Paul picked Heartbreak Hotel as his number one choice.

He said: "It's the way [Presley] sings it as if he is singing from the depths of hell.

"His phrasing, use of echo, it's all so beautiful. Musically, it's perfect."

Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange was the highest-placed movie at number five, followed by The Godfather and The Godfather II films.

The Prisoner was the top-ranking TV series at number 10 while Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road was the highest book, in 19th place.

Actors Edward Norton and Juliette Lewis and ex-Beach Boy Brian Wilson also took part in the poll, marking the magazine's 100th issue.

Uncut editor Allan Jones said: "This list has been a massive undertaking and considering which films have had a greater cultural impact than Bowie, for example, has fuelled many discussions.

"What we have been left with is Dylan as the most seminal artistic statement of the last five decades - but I'm sure others will disagree."
