This is completely tangential, but for the sake of accuracy:
The reaction to Bob Dylan playing an electric guitar on stage originally occurred at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. However, there are those who were present who claim the the booing was because there was only time for a very short set.
When playing in Manchester in May 1966 a member of the audience shouted out "Judas" because Dylan seemed to have abandoned his folk roots. Two individuals claim to have been the person who shouted "Judas". Bob Dylan finished that tour.
In July 1966 Dylan had a motorcycle accident, as a result of which he cancelled all further engagements for that year, and did not tour again until 1974. Dylan himself later said that he had been worn out by five years of touring plus the use of various substances, and the crash offered an opportunity to withdraw from public activity.
Nothing to do with the discussion of Oneness (or perhaps just another manifestation of Oneness)!
Peace.

What it does have to do with is the abusive resistance of traditionalists to change. That is the sense in which the reference was made and in that context is relates very well to the abusive resistance of TA to NA.
