We both have different memories of that tour Daylia. I recall Dylan's "born-again" stature was well publicized and reported in the press before the tour began and it should not have been a shock to most people. Maybe news travels slowly in Canada :)

I don't recall hearing any boos or heckling.

Whatever the case, I think we are speaking from our personal experience. I did not say that people got "the Message", meaning that they were there to hear it in a spiritual sense. I think the audience largely understood that Dylan was performing songs that he believed in and we respected the performance he gave.
