忘记写第三个理由:
如果我没记错,虽然 Newport Folk Festival 在 1969 年以前是 Not For Profit
(之後转型成营利组织),但仍然会卖门票,而相当比例的观众,他们买票是为了
看 Dylan 的。Dylan 当天只表演了五首歌,让他们很不高兴,所以在台下狂嘘。
以下是大英百科全书,Bob Dylan 一项下,对 1965 NFF 的叙述:
At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, Dylan bravely showcased his electric
sound, backed primarily by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. After an
inappropriately short 15-minute set, Dylan left the stage to a hail of booing
—mostly a response to the headliner's unexpectedly abbreviated performance
rather than to his electrification. He returned for a two-song acoustic
encore. Nonetheless, reams were written about his electric betrayal and
banishment from the folk circle. (See BTW: Dylan goes electric—the event,
the debate.) By the time of his next public appearance, at the Forest Hills
(New York) Tennis Stadium a month later, the audience had been “instructed”
by the press how to react. After a well-received acoustic opening set, Dylan
was joined by his new backing band (Al Kooper on keyboards, Harvey Brooks on
bass, and, from the Hawks, Canadian guitarist Robbie Robertson and drummer
Levon Helm). Dylan and the band were booed throughout the performance;
incongruously, the audience sang along with “Like a Rolling Stone,” the
number two song in the United States that week, and then booed at its
conclusion.
(附带一提,这篇文章是 Al Cooper 写的)
我原文忘记提这个说法,很可能是因为:我根本不赞成,太牵强了!
Dylan 参与了三次 NFF(1963、1964、1965),每次都只唱四、五首歌左右,前
两年的例子摆在那边,观众不太可能(或者说不应该)期待 Dylan在1965年那次
会做什麽不一样的事情;而且不要忘了,这是 Newport Folk Festival ,不是
Bob Dylan Festival,其他民谣歌手也需要舞台演出啊!怎麽可能把 NFF 变成
Dylan 的 one man show? 如果只想看 Dylan 演出,你在 1965 年有六十七次
买票的机会,为什麽非得去 Newport 嘘他?
