In the history of American music, there are moments that feel less like performances and more like tectonic plates shifting. They are rare, quiet, and usually involve a collision of legends. One such moment occurred on the hallowed stage of the Kennedy Center, where Bruce Springsteen stood alone in a single pool of light, tasked with honoring the man who essentially gave him his compass: Bob Dylan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Springsteen has never made a secret of the fact that hearing Like a Rolling Stone<\/em> for the first time was like someone kicking open the door to his mind.
