Rock Fans Outraged As Bob Dylan Goes Electronica
“We came here to see the authentic Dylan, the one with the Stratocaster guitar and signature wild blues-rock band behind him,” audience member Robert Hochschild said. “Then he walks out with these puffy headphones, some turntables, and a laptop? The guy’s a Judas.” When asked later about his musical transformation by reporters, Dylan said he had nothing to say about the beats he programs, he just programs them.
Funny enough, people said the exact same thing when he first went onstage with an electric guitar. (He was allegedly booed and ridiculed for going electric at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, although many maintain that the booing was because of the crappy sound system. Regardless, he was booed at other venues and was, famously, called “Judas” at a concert in Manchester, England. see: Electric Dylan controversy)
