Get Your Tickets Now

As I write this there is still time, but the clock is ticking! What am I talking about? In just one year it will be the 50th anniversary of one of the most important dates in rock' roll history. On July 25th 1965 Bob Dylan went electric at the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, Rhode Island. 

Dylan's milestone was one of the most defiant acts in the the history of Rock' Roll. Dylan stuck his thumb to his nose to the music cognizanti and they hated it. Fans of Dylan and folk actually booed him. Dylan left the stage in a form of defeat. He did later return to the stage and capitulate to the crowd by playing his "standards" appeasing the assembled ticket buyers. Little did those who booed know that they would be one of the catalysts of change. Dylan's defiance empowered a lot of people. It made hippies and their rock music a player in the world of popular music. The old world was over and it happened in Newport, Rhode Island.
The folk Festival still exists as does the Newport Jazz Festival. Love Rock n' Roll well then you need to be there next year so get your tickets now.
