I'm a trapeze artist. Most people who don't like rock 'n' roll can't relate to other people. The Forest Hills show is legendary, and for anyone who now doubts that 1965 audiences heaped great scorn on Bob Dylan and his electric crew, all they need to do is listen to a tape of the Forest Hills concert to hear the audience's point of view. To prove that point, the Newport audience literally booed him off the stage. But one gets the impression that acoustic-music aficionados had considered the album an experiment of sorts, not a commitment to a whole new louder and harder musical style.
Some people work in gas stations and they're poets.
I don't call myself a poet because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist. I'd like to thank the members of the Academy who were bold enough to give me this award for this song. But I digress. Four years ago, I became Bob Dylan.
