Bob Dylan stinks outneighbours

Wed 18th Mar, 2009 in International News

He may be one of music’s living icons, but Bob Dylan is just as prone to domestic disputes as the rest of us. According to the Los Angeles Times, locals living downwind of Dylan’s property in Malibu are being hit with noxious smells daily. The finger has been pointed at a portable toilet on his grounds that is used by security staff. So pungent is the scent, families are even claiming to have fallen ill.

“It’s a scandal,” neighbour David Emminger told the LA Times. ”’Mr. Civil Rights’ is killing our civil rights.” The Emmingers have erected five industrial fans “in an attempt to blow the odour back at Dylan.” Despite these desperate measures, Malibu council officials are yet to remove the offending portaloo.

In the meantime, Dylan has other shit to worry about – namely the release of his next album Together Through Life.
