Dylan Newport Folk Festival; 1965
Have you ever actually seen Dylan's performance at this infamous event? It is, quite simply, the best live performance the man ever put in. The band was tight; there was a band, not just him rattling around on an out-of-tune guitar; he was singing more-or-less in tune; there was more going on musically than there ever had been before and it was engaging. And the audience threw it all away for a change of instrument, and actually booed him. Ladies and gentlmen, there's only one word for that: fucktardation.

"AHH THE INSTRUMENTS ARE IN TUNE I CAN'T GET HIGH TO THIS. DO SOMETHING, BOB, PUNCH YOURSELF IN THE THROAT. AHHHHHH, ANYTHING!"
It was because he was playing electric guitar. As folkies they took umbrage. Still, fucktardation.
