Disgraceland is a production of Double Elvis.

The stories about Bob Dylan are insane.

He was booed at the 1965 Newport Fol Festival, but not for the reason you've been led to believe.

He traded in his status as a folk music Jesus to become a rock and roll Judas, alienating thousands

of fans with ear-splitting confrontational music.

Many of those fans heckled him.

One even tried to attack him on stage with a knife.

He was in a motorcycle accident that, depending on which paper you read, left him either disfigured,

paralyzed, or dead. This happened at a time when he was making great music,

music that scandalized one genre while simultaneously revolutionizing another. Unlike that

loop I played for you at the top of the show, that wasn't great music. That was a preset loop

from my Melotron called Tick-Ape Totepper MK2. I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to hanky-panky by Tommy

Janes and the Chondels. And why would I play you that specific slice of hornedog,

voyeur, cheese, could I afford it? Because that was the number one song in America on July 29,

1966, and that was the day one song in America on July 29, 1966.

And that was the day Bob Dylan crashed its triumph on the back roads of Woodstock, New York.

An accident that changed not just him, but music forever.

On this episode, rude, hated, heckled, attacked, disgruntled fans, a rock and roll Judas, and Bob Dylan.

I'm April, 1965, London.

23-year-old Bob Dylan stepped off the plane at Heathrow Airport, fully aware that something was ending.

He was over it.

Greenwich Village, McDougal Street, Dave Van Rock, the Clancy Brothers.
