Intro-Music: Aaron Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man”
Ansage:
“Please welcome the poet laureate of rock ’n‘ roll,
the voice of the promise of the ’60s counterculture,
the guy who forced folk into bed with rock,
who donned makeup in the ’70s and disappeared
into a haze of substance abuse,
who emerged to ‚find Jesus‘,
who was written off as a has-been by the end of the ’80s,
and who suddenly shifted gears and released some
of the strongest music of his career beginning in the mid-’90s.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Columbia recording artist, Bob Dylan!”
