Seeger is an artist, too, and he watches the news with concern like everyone else. Seeger is of the people, Dylan is apart from the people. Artist's aren't necessarily islands.
The climax, when Dylan plays rock and roll at the Newport Folk Festival to Seeger's chagrin, is more than a blow to folk.

A great illustrative cut goes from Dylan recording "Like a Rolling Stone" with a full band in the studio to Seeger playing solo on public TV. Cool-->uncool, hard stop.
