Sarah Ferguson presents Australia's premier daily current affairs program, delivering agenda-setting public affairs journalism and interviews that hold the powerful to account. Plus political analysis from Laura Tingle.
LAURA TINGLE, PRESENTER: It was one of the most iconic moments in 1960s music - the night Bob Dylan came on stage at the Newport folk festival and played an electric set to the consternation and anger of his audience.
How the late '60s are very different, more raucous, unruly, rock'n'roll, Woodstock, Vietnam, RFK's assassination, the ever-increasing fear of nuclear mutual destruction. That was all really the late '60s and the early '60s were a harbinger of it and I can see people identifying this concert as a kind of turning point.
TIMOTHEE CHALAMET: Well, as you so wonderfully put it, this is the interpretation of Bob Dylan. The real man is alive and well in Malibu, California, so he could give you a better answer than I could. It seems to me that it is very possible that a young artist can be completely prepared to deliver gobsmackingly poetic art to a public, but not necessarily be ready for the gigantically adoring response to that art.
