忘記寫第三個理由： 如果我沒記錯，雖然 Newport Folk Festival 在 1969 年以前是 Not For Profit （之後轉型成營利組織），但仍然會賣門票，而相當比例的觀眾，他們買票是為了 看 Dylan 的。Dylan 當天只表演了五首歌，讓他們很不高興，所以在台下狂噓。 以下是大英百科全書，Bob Dylan 一項下，對 1965 NFF 的敘述： 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. （附帶一提，這篇文章是 Al Cooper 寫的） 我原文忘記提這個說法，很可能是因為：我根本不贊成，太牽強了！ Dylan 參與了三次 NFF（1963、1964、1965），每次都只唱四、五首歌左右，前 兩年的例子擺在那邊，觀眾不太可能（或者說不應該）期待 Dylan在1965年那次 會做什麼不一樣的事情；而且不要忘了，這是 Newport Folk Festival ，不是 Bob Dylan Festival，其他民謠歌手也需要舞台演出啊！怎麼可能把 NFF 變成 Dylan 的 one man show？ 如果只想看 Dylan 演出，你在 1965 年有六十七次 買票的機會，為什麼非得去 Newport 噓他？ -- When you think that you lost everything You find out you can always lose a little more... -- Dylan, 1997 --
