I also attended a luke-warm show of Dylan's, but I actually sympathized with him. Sure it's insulting to the audience, but that's who he is.
I think Bob Dylan has always had a love-hate relationship with the public and the media, and being an "entertainer". He's a poet and song-writer first; inconsistent as a singer - amazing at times, unlistenable at others; and kind of un infant terrible at playing the expected role of performer.
He's "selfish" in a way that many artists are. When he's inspired and loves what he does, maybe there's an audience that can share the experience with him. Otherwise, I don't think he cares about the job of entertaining people.
