In the second and final instalment of our series on Bob Dylan and his ultimate superfan/mortal enemy AJ Weberman - Vol. 3 - Weberman, David Peel and their Dylan Liberation Front comrades put on a demonstration in front of Dylan's house in Woodstock, NY sometime in late 1970. as told in Weberman's 1971 article in underground publication the East Village Other. Master and disciple come to verbal blows: Weberman calls Dylan a fucking capitalist, and Dylan tauntingly asks who writes better songs than him, making up bullshit lyrics on the spot to fuck with Weberman, who sneers at Dylan "what are you, a weatherman?" (Bob has a lyric or two about rain.) Once again, any and all readings from the work of Weberman are set to instrumental music from throughout Dylan's career, with his quotes from the songs of Dylan illustrated by pertinent clips.
