Bob Dylan's leather jacket
about 1965
worn during a performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival
Musician Bob Dylan's poignant and poetic lyrics made him a leader of America's acoustic folk revival during the early 1960s. At the Newport Festival, he defied audience expectations and performed with electric instruments for the first time. While this infuriated many folk purists, it proved Dylan's individuality as an artist, and remains a defining moment in the history of American popular music. |
