DEVILISH DYLAN GETS HIS JOLLIES ANGERING FANS!
At age 82, he doesn’t give a damn
CRUSTY music icon Bob Dylan is rich, ancient and self-absorbed, so the 82-year-old goes out of his way to annoy fans who show up for his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour, according to a pal who says the singer feels if his audiences don’t like it they can go Blowin’ in the Wind!
Incredibly, the voice of the early 1960s refuses to play his greatest hits, including Like a Rolling Stone and Hurricane, on the 200-date tour. He also doesn’t talk to the audience between songs and forces concertgoers to put their phones into ziplock bags so they can’t capture his craggy face on camera.
But insiders say fans are even angrier because Dylan — real name Robert Zimmerman — drastically alters the arrangements of the few old chestnuts he does perform, leaving audience members to moan they don’t even recognize the famous tunes!
One ticket holder recently griped about “expecting so much and receiving so little — not a single word was uttered to fans, not a smile, not a nod. He looked old and disinterested. What an utter disappointment!”
Meanwhile, a reviewer observes, “Audiences love to hate Dylan as he mangles their favorite songs.”
While fans rip Mr. Tambourine Man and the performances they paid $200 or more to see, one of the singer’s longtime friends says all the drama actually puts a smile on Dylan’s face!
“Bob loves that he can still get people worked up over his shows,” the friend says. “At his age, his givea-damn has completely flown out the window. He still plays shows to amuse himself, and if the audience doesn’t like it, he couldn’t care less. He’s already gotten their money!”
