Bob Dylan ist etwas ähnliches passiert:
Auf dem englischen Wikipedia (abgerufen am 28.02.2019) gibt es im Artikel zum Song »My Back Pages« einen sehr interessanten Link zu drei Dokumenten bezüglich einer Veranstaltung am Freitag, den 13. Dezember 1963, bei der Bob Dylan der Tom-Paine-Preis verliehen wurde. Gegen Ende seiner Dankesrede sagte Dylan folgendes:

»I got to admit that the man who shot President Kennedy, Lee Oswald, I don't know exactly where — what he thought he was doing, but I got to admit honestly that I too – I saw some of myself in him. I don't think it would have gone – I don't think it could go that far. But I got to stand up and say I saw things that he felt, in me – not to go that far and shoot. (Boos and hisses) You can boo but booing's got nothing to do with it. It's a – I just a – I've got to tell you, man, it's Bill of Rights is free speech […]« [Quelle: folgender Link]

- Bob Dylan and the NECLC (Corliss Lamont Website, Verfasser und Datum unbekannt)

The National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (NECLC), founded in 1951 and known for many years simply as the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (ECLC), annually held a Bill of Rights Dinner which gathered together members and friends of the organization and provided a setting for the presentation of the group's Tom Paine Award (As I Went Out One Morning, Wikipedia – Link von mir hinzugefügt), given once yearly since 1958 in recognition of distinguished service in the fight for civil liberty. The recipient of the 1963 award was singer/songwriter Bob Dylan who accepted the award on December 13 at the Dinner in New York, which also featured noted author James Baldwin.

What follows here is a most remarkable set of three documents: first, Bob Dylan's extemporaneous speech, probably typed out later from an audio tape, then an eloquent letter in defense of Dylan and of youth itself from Corliss Lamont, who was then Chairman of the ECLC, and finally, a most beautiful and poetic explanation by Dylan himself analyzing and expressing his tumult of feelings on the occasion. 

"Nie wird es einen freien und wirklich aufgeklärten Staat geben, solange sich der Staat nicht bequemt, das Individuum als größere und unabhängige Macht anzuerkennen, von welcher all seine Macht und Gewalt sich ableitet, und solange er den Einzelmenschen nicht entsprechend behandelt."

(engl.: "There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly.")

==========

"As I Went Out One Morning" is a song written by Bob Dylan, released on his 1967 album John Wesley Harding. He has only performed this song live once, in the early phase of the Bob Dylan and The Band 1974 Tour. 

The lyrics to "As I Went Out One Morning" tell about a man who offers a hand to a woman in chains, but realizes that she wants more than he is offering, and that "she meant to do [him] harm." A character identified as Tom Paine then appears, "command[s] her to yield," and apologizes to the narrator for the woman's actions. Tom Paine as a figure may represent common sense or civil liberties, which the historical Tom Paine championed. However, it is also likely that this song references the prestigious Tom Paine Award that Dylan received in 1963 from the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee. Dylan delivered an acceptance speech and was booed and rushed from the stage when he claimed to have empathy for some of Lee Harvey Oswald feelings.^[1] The song bears a resemblance to the W. H. Auden poem As I Walked Out One Evening, including sharing the same iambic meter and quatrain form.
