...delude myself that an RES department will be established anytime soon. If we are to learn anything from the Columbia University protests in April 1996, it is that the confrontational activism of the late 1960s is no longer effective.

He even remained unflappable while performing "Love Sick" when a man with the words "Soy Bomb" painted on his torso leapt on stage to dance to the song. Dylan merely raised his eyebrows...
