One of the music world's pre-eminent critics takes a fresh and much-needed look at the day Dylan 'went electric' at the Newport Folk Festival, timed to coincide with the event's fiftieth anniversary. On the evening of July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport Folk Festival, backed by an electric band, and roared into his new rock hit, Like a Rolling Stone. The audience of committed folk purists and political activists who had hailed him as their acoustic prophet reacted with a mix of shock, booing, and scattered cheers. It was the shot heard round the world-Dylan's declaration of musical independence, the end of the folk revival, and the birth of rock as the voice of a generation-and one of the defining moments in twentieth-century music. In Dylan Goes Electric!, Elijah Wald explores the cultural, political and historical context of this seminal event that embodies the transformative decade that was the sixties.

Wald delves deep into the folk revival, the rise of rock, and the tensions between traditional and groundbreaking music to provide new insights into Dylan's artistic evolution, his special affinity to blues, his complex relationship to the folk establishment and his sometime mentor Pete Seeger, and the ways he reshaped popular music forever. Breaking new ground on a story we think we know, Dylan Goes Electric! is a thoughtful, sharp appraisal of the controversial event at Newport and a nuanced, provocative, analysis of why it matters.

It works
This kind of product is always hard to rate, Does it work, or doesn't it. Am I aware of having it onboard, or is it my hopeful imagination? Who knows? But for both of us, I feel as though I am more aware in general but most important to me is that I have more energy to accomplish things. Does a more active brain lead to more physical stamina? I don't know, but I do know what I feel and it is great for both us 70++ year olds.

Another of Hayes’ incredible tools for healing
Format: Paperback
Incredibly informative! I have followed Dave Hayes for years. Much of what he refers to in this book is familiar particularly the concept of controlling your own well being through Jesus and our Heavenly Father. I am delighted with Hayes’ ability to break down the often nebulous and overlapping states of being that we should be able to perceive but often cannot, enabling us to change and heal. Another bravo to this practical, articulate, generous Christian author anchoring it all in the Word.

Excellent Knowledge on spiritual warfare.
This book is Great Educational Material if your willing (Especially as a Christian) to fight in the daily spiritual warfare. It shows you how to spot the invisible enemy that tries to Seek, Kill & Destroys lives. Praying Medic's Books are Excellent! Also bought his other books the Lord said to buy his book on Healing. Thus saith the Lord, "My people are destroyed because of LACK of KNOWLEDGE."
