Bob Dylan

[Mister Obvious]

"One day we went to get something to eat before the show. Bob had left what I referred to as his 'vomit jacket' hanging on the coat rack in the dressing room. I had been trying to get him to wear something other than that revolting jacket which he loved with all his heart. I must have temporarily won because when we went for hamburgers, he was wearing something else.

When we got back, the jacket was gone. I felt terrible. Bob turned to me, screaming. His face was distorted and the veins were popping out and his eyes were brimmed with red.

Bob was fine at the rehearsal, and his part of the concert was stupendous. I made the remark that he ought to get mad more often because his performance had been even better than usual."

- Joan Baez, And a Voice to Sing With (paraphrased)

I'm gonna keep it 100% real... her controlling ass would have been the fuck out of my life right then. This was before they ever went on the legendary "Don't Look Back" tour. I think Bob was 23 at the time... I bet after that, he learned something about compromising his own style for another person.

I have articles of clothing and other items that I'm sure most people would consider in the same disfavorable way Joan saw Bob's jacket. Thing is, I like those items more than I like most people, so there's that.
