Subject: RE: When Dylan first went electric
Hi All,

It's been a while---a long while. Class has kept me away. Oddly enough, I have a story from class that pertains. (Gee, I love it when homework is useful)

At UT Austin, we have the Lomax Collection. Alan was at the Newport Festival and went CRAZY backstage. Took an axe and tried to chop the electrical lines. Even warnings of the voltage wouldn't stop him.

Supposedly, Lomax considers that the betrayal of folk.
