Interesting first-person account I read. When Dylan came offstage after playing "Like A Rolling Stone" electric in Newport 1965, he was reportedly "shocked" at the booing and a tear was supposedly rolling down his "left cheek", then he went out and played one acoustic song, "Its All Over Now, Baby Blue".
So you can find videos of both performances on Youtube. I watched "Baby Blue" and, later in the song when the light on his face is just right, you can see the track of that tear down his left cheek.
Lots of people have put a lot of energy into interpreting Dylan's songs. Who is he referring to or talking to in this song, is it so-and-so or such-and-such? I think they often get it wrong, because Dylan is - in my view - often referring to and talking to himself. "Baby Blue" is one example.
