...bitter disappointment musically and aesthetically. Dylan, in the attempt to change his image from Bob Dylan the rebel to Bob Dylan the Pop Star, has succeeded monetarily, but the substance of his material lacks the energy and purpose it once had. Where James Taylor has succeeded and Joan Baez is attempting to do so, Dylan seems happy to rest on his rebel laurels and give token support to men such as Rubin "Hurricane" Carter (Where is Dylan now when Carter is struggling with the New Jersey legal system?... Probably basking in the sun at Zuna Beach, discussing house plans with...

Dylan couldn't come only because he was recuperating from his (and the world's) accident, so he sent Baez! The next best thing!! So in that crazy, turbulent sea of mud and peace and love, all the goals of the French Revolution were finally realized, and the sixties could then die in peace (and love). Or so everybody thought...Because--you guessed it again!!--ha, ha, the sixties...
