In the early 60s, Bob Dylan was the protest singer whose anthems personified the folk music revival. Then in 1966, at the height of his popularity, he plugged in an electric guitar and merged his poetic lyrics with the sound of one of the great rock "n" roll bands. The rock world was delighted, but the folk scene was outraged and betrayed. This book is an account of that legendary world tour, when Dylan waged a nightly war with his audience and reinvented rock with incendiary zeal.
