I met up with family friends, two sisters who were at Newport a couple of weeks after the festival. They were farther back in audience, not up close. From their vantage point they could hear Dylan’s set just fine and enjoyed it. They heard no booing. The folks purists in the front may have been upset but most of the audience liked what they heard. My friends were already familiar with Like a Rolling Stone, because it was on the radio and they had bought the single. We sat around for hours listening to that record trying to transcribe the lyrics. As a singer, lyricist, and cultural figure Dylan was a true revolutionary.

My father, born in 1918, liked Burl Ives and Peter, Paul, and Mary, and Paul Robeson (whom he particularly admired). When he finally heard Bob Dylan in the spring of 1971, he immediately hated him, and he continued to hate him. for at least the next five years. Pete Seeger (born in 1919) and Alan Lomax (born in 1915) were not exactly “young people” in 1965. Seeger was forty-six and Lomax was fifty. You’re throwing around extremely vague and grotesquely inaccurate cliches.

I recently saw an interview with Joni Mitchell, where she was excoriating Bob Dylan, among others. She basically said he was not an original, couldn't play his guitar, faked his twang, and had bad breath! Very amusing to realize there is little difference where ego's are concerned in the music industry. Though not everyone can write a masterpiece or, at least, a hit song, it still doesn't translate into assuming these folks are all good people simply because they can string together a few words and chords. It's easy to look at those still with us, and see just how human they really are. Whether it's money or politics or ego, it gives the impression these guys got lost somewhere between the 60's and today. And the beat goes on.

He also lied blatantly and liberally about his background (check out the liner notes to his debut album). She is correct on all counts. I suspect that if Columbia hadn't ultimately signed him (after numerous rejections from other companies), he might have gone on to a successful career in comedy. He was actually pretty good at it.

I think a point Lomax was also making was that there should not be "folk stars" at a folk festival; that this was against the goal of a festival that should present grass roots music by and for the people. Grossman, as a manager, was there for financial reasons and by the end of the 60's, this festival was paying "folk stars" that he managed larger fees. The festival had financial issues and folded at the end of the 60's.

Good points. And you may be right. But in general, there’s what people think “should be” and then there’s what reality is and what works. And the very fact that the festival folded for many years (I think it came back a little later? Not sure), is somewhat evidence for that. Unfortunately, music is a business, no matter the genre or platform. And it probably would be good for there to be a balance between whatever values or vision people have for the “art” of something, and what will be sustainable.

To me they’re are only 2 types of music, I.e., good music or bad music. All music has validity as it is just organized melodic sound. To pigeon holean artist is to limit their musical curiosity. Dylan as a curious individual was into exploration & growth, and quite individualistic in his approach & sound. Yes from John Coltrane to Woody Guthrie they all deliver a sound that was their own!!! The Newport Folk Festival was an esteemed venue & it seems like it tarnished itself over this incident by making too much of an issue that Dylan presented. After all he helped to make it more famous & popular because of his unique talent. Why not let him show his growth & expansion of his artistry?

You’re conflating lyrics and music. There was nothing the slightest bit innovative or unusual or particularly significant about any of Zimmerman’s music-in and of itself. It was his superimposition of established musical forms and lyrics with a poetic sensibility (however crude, awkward, and ungainly) that distinguished him and influenced others. The Newport FOLK Festival was the called the Newport FOLK Festival. To go there and play something jarringly opposed to “folk music” (that is, the particular inaccurate conception of “folk music” entertained by the festival’s organizers and attendees) was an act of deliberate provocation (to what end I’m not sure), which is not the same thing as artistic experimentation.

Having just seen "A Complete Unknown," and having heard the lore of Dylan's going electric causing a riot at Newport, it came as a shock to me to hear Al Cooper, who played the organ on "Like a Rolling Stone" at the festival, say on Fresh Air with Teri Gross, that there was no booing about playing electric but rather about the fact that Dylan only played three songs in his set; that other artists before Dylan in the festival played electric and no one objected; that there was no booing or throwing of things during the set but only when they finished and had only played three songs. So whose memory is correct? Was anyone out there at the concert and can address this question? Studies have shown how unreliable our memories are.

Looking back at this period from my view today it seems that the singer/songwriters of the early 1970s were actually the artists that transcended the folk singers of the 1960s. There seems like a direct line that never was truly exposed from Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger to James Taylor and Jackson Browne.

All of these folk people - Seeger, PP&M, Baez, and on and on - who were, at the time, still putting out the most derivative, unoriginal and overtly preachy “topical” pablum, knew that they (and the folk music genre to which they so neatly and willingly aligned themselves) were all riding off of Dylan’s genius, both financially and in terms of their own temporarily enhanced popularity and social stature. As Dylan left traditional folk music in his dust, they rightly saw this was all going to evaporate (and very quickly so), since not a single one of them had the talent, charisma or song-power to carry their own genre forward. Newport was the manifestation of their jealousy and bitterness over Dylan’s transcendence - it’s as simple as that. All of this retrospection and purported explanation is unnecessary and just intellectually insulting.

This is complete and utter nonsense. Joan Baez was famous before Zimmerman (“Dylan”) had even arrived in New York. Seeger had been famous for decades before Zimmerman arrived and had had huge hits with the Weavers in the forties and fifties. Without Seeger laying the groundwork and meticulously and unceasingly building the movement, Zimmerman would have had no scene in which to establish himself. Joan Baez’s, and Peter, Paul, and Mary’s early support (and Dave Van Ronk’s before them) was crucial for Zimmerman’s career (as “Dylan”).

@ Your fairy tale is the complete and utter nonsense. Neither Baez or Seeger (including when he was with the Weavers) ever even remotely achieved the fame, crossover appeal and lasting historical relevance that Dylan achieved. It took Dylan, whose coat-tails they both rode for all it was worth, for each of them to achieve the mainstream success they ultimately enjoyed. As for historical relevance, both Baez and Seeger will always be discussed far more for their attachment and brief involvement in Dylan’s career arc (and for using a lot of his original material), than for their own individual fame and original material. As for the established NYC folk “scene” to which you claim Dylan should subjugate himself, I note that it took him less than two years after arriving in NYC before he had unequivocally ascended to the top of it (Freewheelin’ was issued in May ‘63), and barely two more years before he had completely eclipsed it. If this is the “movement” you’re referring to, it seems to me that it owes a lot more to Dylan for whatever longevity or continuing relevance it enjoys today than Dylan owes to it. Against this backdrop, the jealousy and bitterness heaped on Dylan at Newport - from Seeger, in particular - for transcending the creatively limited and restrictive NYC folk scene is no surprise.

“Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” was written by Pete Seeger, arguably the most important figure in the entire “folk revival” from the forties through the early sixties. Peter, Paul, and Mary were the ones who brought fame to Dylan in the first place by recording his “Blowin’ in the Wind”.Muddy Waters did not play electric guitar at Newport. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band did, but that generated controversy too. In fact, the wrestling in the dirt between Albert Grossman and Alan Lomax was over Paul Butterfield, not Dylan. Yarrow is misremembering this. Paul Butterfield Blues Band also functioned as Dylan’s accompanying group later in the festival.

Peter the self-righteous folk purist spinning the tale to make himself look like the good guy when the real issue is that "Bobby" was, is, and always will be THE GIANT compared to the puny nat that Peter was and always will be. Get over yourself.

That's the reason you can listen to his songs repeatedly and not get tired of them.e.g. Meet me in the morning..... I heard THIS...." after 6 by the waterfall, honey we can be in Kansas, 5 times as loving as the dawn ???? BUT now with Google you can read the real lyrics . Mine are just as meaningful !
