...Sebastián de los Reyes was a sleepy bedroom community of 27,000 people at the northern tip of greater Madrid. The high point of the local calendar was the traditional festival of Cristo de los Remedios in late August, when residents celebrated with fireworks, bullfights and bull running.

...Political or personal, Dylan's impudence was catnip to kids my age, who, if we couldn't shout righteous invective at Bull Conner in Birmingham, Alabama, could at least be rude to our parents at home. His "my generation" song, "The Times They Are A-Changin'" announces the passing of power from the burghers of middle-aged authority to their children. In succession Dylan addresses these mammoths who don't realize they're dinosaurs: writers and critics, senators, Congressmen and finally mothers and fathers. His acute message to parents: "Don't criticize what you can't understand. / Your sons...
