Video has emerged of Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith leading an all-star group of musicians in a Bob Dylan tribute jam this past Sunday at the Newport Folk Festival on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Dylan famously "going electric" at the festival. Among those joining Goldsmith were Robyn Hitchcock, Hozier, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, and members of First Aid Kit and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Though Dylan himself didn't make an appearance, Al Kooper—original "Like a Rolling Stone" keyboardist—did, as did the very same Fender Stratocaster that Dylan played at Newport in '65.

In other local music news at Newport, Tommy Stinson played a solo set—but unfortunately, much of his audience decamped to catch a surprise appearance by James Taylor. (Consequence of Sound)

Morrissey says he was sexually assaulted by a San Francisco airport security worker who, according to a post by Morrissey on the True to You fan site, "stopped me, crouched before me and groped my penis and testicles." When Morrissey complained to a supervisor, he says, he was told the question of an assault was a matter of opinion. "Since the penis and testicles were mine and no one else's," writes Morrissey, "then my opinion must surely have some meaning." (Rolling Stone)
