Judas! The legendary moment when Bob Dylan was heckled with a cry of “Judas” at a 1966 concert is to be shown on film for the first time. Now there is something I would like to see.

You and me both. Thanks for the heads up.

thanks, karl.

but what did Dylan shoot back -- "Liar" or "Louder" (to the band)?

I'm curious how it plays verses the version in Al Kooper's "Backstage Passes & Backstabbing Bastards".

The book is, incidentally, one of the more fun rock autobiographies. Even if you're like me and don't have any special interest in Al Kooper, his career touched many pivotal moments in rock history and he's a hell of a story teller.

His response is "I don't believe you. You're a liar!"

And then, aside: "Play fuckin' loud."

Oh, and it's the "intro" to a really amazing version of "Like a Rolling Stone".

Little-known fact:

Immediately following the concert, Dylan hanged himself in a field, and his corpse fell to the ground releasing his innards.

Wrong universe, crash. We're in the one where Genghis Khan DIDN'T die of food poisoning from an undercooked rabbit just outside the steppes.

Yeah, right! Next thing you're gonna tell is that Donovan didn't get nailed to a tree, either!
