In the United States, Dick Summer, a late-night DJ at WBZ in Boston, played "The Sound of Silence"; it became popular with a college audience. It was picked up the next day along the East Coast of the United States, down to Cocoa Beach, Florida. When Wilson heard about this new wave of interest, he took inspiration from the success of the folk-rock hybrid that he and Dylan had created with "Like a Rolling Stone", and crafted a rock remix of the song using studio musicians. The remix was issued in September 1965, where it reached the "Billboard" Hot 100. Wilson did not inform the duo of his plan, and Simon was "horrified" when he first heard it.
