Bob Dylan (Part 1): How Does It Feel to Be Booed, Heckled, Hated, and Attacked?

Bob Dylan was booed at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival – but not for the reason you’ve been led to believe. He went from Folk Music Jesus to Rock ‘n Roll Judas, alienating thousands of fans with ear-splitting, confrontational music. Many of those fans heckled him.
