In the 1965 new album "Bringing It All Back Home" (Bringing It All Back Home), Dylan completely broke away from the image of the folk poet and protest singer; from the music to the cover photo, He is a depressed and rebellious rocker.

At this year’s Newport Music Festival, Dylan walked onto the stage in a rock attire of leather jacket and boots, and instead of just one person and a guitar, he brought a rock band. They only played three new songs for fifteen minutes. Everyone was stunned, disappointed and angry. This is not the Dylan they knew.

For people in the folk music industry, rock and roll is a commercial and decadent sound that is insincere, depraved, and disconnected from the masses (unlike in folk music scenes, where singers can distance themselves from the audience) very close). The folk revival movement in the early 1960s was a search for the ancient and long-lost sincerity of America. It was a spiritual movement that valued the countryside over the city, and labor over capital. At this moment, Dylan betrays all of this.

There is no better place to witness Dylan’s journey than at the Newport Music Festival, the most important base of the folk revival. In 1962, Joan Bates introduced the 20-year-old he who had just arrived in New York to the world of folk songs; in 1963, everyone sang his "Gone with the Wind"; in 1964, he He no longer sang political songs and was accused of betraying the spirit of protest; but in 1965, in the place where he was born, he even betrayed folk songs.

The host said awkwardly that he believed Dylan would go on stage again to sing folk songs. At the request of everyone, he came back and sang a song coldly. He knew that it would be too easy to satisfy these masses, but that was not what he wanted.

After the Newport Music Festival, he released a song "Positively Fourth Street" (Positively Fourth Street).

This refers to West Fourth Street in Greenwich Village. This street is a symbol of the folk spirit of the "village": on this street there is the small apartment where he once rented with his girlfriend Susie, there is the performance venue where he often sang, and there is Washington Square where folk songs are always flying. Of course, he does not want to praise the street that gave birth to him, but to announce their breakup. He sang: "I know why you talk about me behind my back, because I was one of you." But now he wants to take off the clothes that others forced him to wear as a protest singer and a spokesman for the times, and let the guitar plug in Electricity, to leave Fourth Street.
