They remained estranged until the present tour. At her concerts, Baez would mimic him and demand that he return to the "movement" that spawned him. In a conversation with Michael March of Fusion magazine in 1969, Dylan said he hadn't seen her in two years. She must have been scared off by the electricity and morbid lyrics, he speculated, but he still loved her "even if she is straddled on peace and some punk ex-resident-from-college-kid (David Harris...

He is an accomplished mimic with enough cheek to throw his imitations directly in the face of his target. He is also a man who usually does not have to be begged to sit down at the piano and play for a convivial group.
