July 25, 1965 is a date to bear in mind when you consider this is Bob Dylan's 37th solo album, not counting compilations and bootlegs.
That's the date when some of the crowd at the Newport Folk Festival shouted Judas as Bob introduced his "new" electric sound backed by members
of the Band.
Until then Dylan had been viewed as a folk hero, but he showed he wasn't afraid to take his music in a new direction.
Looking back, how could we not admire what followed, with the likes of Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding, Blood on the Tracks, or later gems like Time Out of Mind.
In other words, given his contribution to the music of the last five decades or more, maybe we can cut Mr Zimmerman a little slack.
