Authenticity has NOTHING to do with pop music. That’s a belief system propagated by German music writers and humorless teenage assholes.

Bob Dylan - “Like a Rolling Stone” (Newcastle, UK; May 21, 1966; No Direction Home)
The rock segment was often greeted with hostility, as seen in shows in Sheffield and Newcastle upon Tyne in No Direction Home. Footage from the “Royal Albert Hall” concert, at the end of that film, includes the infamous “Judas” heckling incident. During a quiet moment in between songs, an audience member shouts very loudly and clearly: “Judas!”, to which Dylan replies: “I don’t believe you, you’re a liar” before telling his band to “Play it fucking loud!” as they begin to play an acidic version of “Like a Rolling Stone”.
Unrelated: Man, I love Robbie Robertson’s style. What a classy player.
And—further unrelated—brother, could that Rick Danko ever sing the shit out of a song.
