Sounds like an intense (in a bad way) experience.
My parents met in Cambridge, MA., in the 60s, and I grew up with them
playing stuff by Dylan, Donovan, and Cat Stevens. My mother eventually
moved up to Gordon Lightfoot.
Anyway, so I thought I liked Dylan. Or perhaps I was merely used to his
stuff. Then, in the mid-1970s, a live Dylan concert was broadcast from
Colorado. Joan Baez joined him onstage. I was eager to see it. But
what Dylan proceeded to do was to make a mess. The songs were sloppy
and barely recognizable. His longtime collaborator Joan Baez was out of
sync with him,
And I began to suspect that Dylan was an emperor with no Clothes.
The same thing happened at Dylan's Grammy awards "speech/performance" in
the early 90s. He couldn't play, sing, or deliver a speech. In that
case, he was probably out of his mind on substances.
Still, I think he's an emperor with no clothes. People deify him
because they think they're supposed to.
