YET ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN
You remember Bob Dylan, don’t you? Folk; hero of the sixties?
You remember Bob Dylan, don’t you? Folk; hero of the sixties? Nobody could write with a political twist like he could, right? Solidarity with the downtrodden, oppressed and all that. Well if it made sense then, it makes more sense now. It makes sense to Dylan now too, so he joined an all-star cast of folkies and others raising money for survivors and refugees from the fascist military coup in Chile. Organizing the affair was Phil Ochs, who managed to convince Arlo Guthrie, Melanie, Pete Seeger, The Living Theater, Melvin Van Peebles, and Dennis Hopper,, along with Dylan, to play the Madison Square Garden Felt Forum show. The benefit was called “An Evening with Salvador Allende,” and it raised upwards of $35,000.
