1. You mean Folk-Rock was born?

I think Little Richard might disagree with your assertion.

3. No. I mean Rock n' Roll.

Obviously, that's a debatable assertion. Dylan himself would scoff at it.

In my opinion, Rock n' Roll is a special fusion ... er ... collision of music and "attitude"... as first presented in this moment.

And they booed.
