The Other Side of the Mirror: Dylan Live at Newport Folk Festival
After plugging in at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, Bob Dylan’s break with the folk scene was complete. The ensuing sonic assault caused pandemonium among the crowd, including an apoplectic Pete Seeger, and ruptured Dylan’s standing among many of his longtime fans. This collection of Dylan’s performances at the festival, taken over three years and filled with never-before-seen footage, charts his rapid evolution as an artist.
Live music by Paul Luc, Ben Hardt, Nicole Reynolds, Scotts Roger, Brad Yoder, and Steven Foxbury.

This just in from our friends at Harris Grill (and yes they are rebuilding and will reopen). I think few people realize that the original whiskey rebellion started right here in Western, PA (check out the entire history here). I don’t usually post political things on this website, however the people organizing this event are some big Pittsburgh lovers. I have great respect for many of the businesses hosting this event, they are local businesses that continue to donate their time, energy and money to many organizations in the Pittsburgh area.

JOIN THE WHISKEY REBELLION II!
In 1794, the people of Western Pennsylvania banded together to fight against an unfair and counterproductive tax on whiskey. In 2008, farsighted voting Americans in Allegheny County have united to demand the repeal of the unfair and counterproductive 10% Drink Tax. Friends Against Counterproductive Taxation (FACT) has been on the forefront of the fight against this tax, and has to date spent hundred of hours and thousands of dollars opposing the Drink Tax. While the Drink Tax has been passed into law, FACT continues the fight to repeal the tax in the courts and through the political process. This is the Kick off Party for Whiskey Rebellion II, and like those citizens of long ago, FACT and its members and allies will not quit and will not go away until the political leaders of Allegheny County listen to their voices!
