Newsweek featured a short article about Dylan performing with electric instruments for the first time at the Newport Folk festival in 1965. The article, called "Bob Dylan Goes Electric", was written by Al Kooper, who played the organ for Dylan at the festival. He claims that the audience booed, but not because Dylan played electric, rather because he played for only 15 minutes instead of the expected 45 minutes to an hour. An early balck-and-white photo of Dylan illustrates the article, which is part of Newsweek's 'Voices of the Century" special issue.
