A groundbreaking interactive music video for music icon Bob Dylan's 1965 single 'Like a Rolling Stone' has been released. The video, built as a multi-media experience, allows fans to connect with the song like never before.
Created in partnership with Interlude and produced by Pulse Films and Walter Pictures, the video allows viewers to play an active role in the story of the music video. The experience begins as soon as the user presses play where they are instantly given the ability to surf 16 difference 'TV channels' within the video in real-time–no one version of the video is the same.
The interchangeable 'channels' are made up of iconic American TV formats and recognizable talent including 'Pawn Stars' from the History Channel, Derrick Ashong of Fusion TV, comedian Marc Maron, 'The Price is Right' with Drew Carey, Jonathan and Drew Scott of 'Property Brothers', 'Girl Code' on MTV, actor Simon Rex, eccentric Detroit rapper Danny Brown, and 'EXTRA' with Mario Lopez.
The video corresponds with the Columbia/Legacy Recordings release of Dylan's The Complete Album Collection Volume 1. This CD boxed set contains 35 studio titles (including the first-ever North American release of 1973's "Dylan" album on CD), 6 live albums, 2-CD "Side Tracks," and a hardcover book featuring new album-by-album liner notes by Clinton Heylin with a new introduction by Bill Flanagan. "Side Tracks" brings together for the first time two discs worth of previously released non-album singles, tracks from "Biography" and other compilations, songs from films and more.

Clinton was accompanied to the event by her husband former President Bill Clinton, daughter Chelsea Clinton and grandchildren.

"For the final time as president I have the honor bestowing the Medal of Freedom, our nation's highest civilian honor, on a group of extraordinary, truly extraordinary people, who gave their sacred effort, their sacred effort, to shape the culture and the cause of America," Biden said in his opening remarks.
"Let me just say to each of you, thank you, thank you, thank you for all you've done to help this country," Biden said Saturday.
Four medals were awarded posthumously. They went to George W. Romney, who served as both a Michigan governor and secretary of housing and urban development; former Attorney General and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy; Ash Carter, a former secretary of defense; and Fannie Lou Hamer, who founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and laid the groundwork for the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
