Remen 'Messiah Of Has Nothing BY VIVIAN COOPER Editorial Page Editor The Bob Dylan concert of Thursday, Jan. 17, in Charlotte, had all the ear marks of a religious ceremony. The messiah of the protest era of the sixties was awaited with hushed expectation and was welcomed excitedly as the symbol of a time when we were concerned about the world and were willing to fight for it. But that time has passed. And though the crowd strained to hear Dylan's words to recapture the spirit of the sixties, Dylan had nothing new to say.

The crowd listened attentively and smoked the usual dope. Girls with sticks of incense walked through the audience to fool the many "pigs" that had invaded the sanctuary. At the start of "Like a Rolling Stone ", hundreds rushed to the foot of the stage and clapped wildly. Dylan often raised his arms over his head to welcome the rushing crowd. They flocked to him much like a different crowd rushes to Billy Graham when he calls to them to come up and accept Christ.

The central figure is glorified and deified, but his words and the spirit of the teachings are forgotten. We've become the wise cynics. No one can fool us again into thinking we can do anything. Oh. yes, we' re still liberal, but who has time or energy to get angry anymore? In private circles we talk dejectedly or sarcastically about Nixon, the so-called energy crisis, extreme corruption in politics, the still outrageous inequality of SWEATERS Forum -Michael Milea Spider Top Jons Cardigans Pull-Over.

But we still remember those good old days fondly. The time when anger and desperation drove us to drop what we were doing, forget the risks and let ourselves be heard.
