'The claims were vetted before the case was filed and we did our research,' the accuser's lawyer says. 'The evidence will establish that he was in New York during the relevant time period.'

On April 25th, as documented in the clip above shot by documentarian D.A. Pennebaker’s camera crew, he left from Seattle for histour in the U.K., where he was shadowed throughout by Pennebaker and his crew. The tour began April 30th in Sheffield, England and wrapped up May 10th in London at the Royal Albert Hall, but Dylan didn’t return to the U.S. until June, according toAfter the tour, Dylan headed to Portugal for a vacation with his future wife, Sara Lownds.

The only window he could have been in New York throughout April and May 1965 was a short period of time in mid-April. “If Dylan was in New York in mid-April, it was for no more than a day or two,” says Clinton Heylin, author of the recent bookand a leading Dylan scholar. “Woodstock was where he spent most of his time when not touring. And if he was in NYC, he invariably stayed at his manager’s apartment in Gramercy, not the Chelsea.

“It is almost impossible to find one week — let alone six — that spring when Dylan could have been staying at the Chelsea Hotel,” he adds. The possibility remains that J.C. is misremembering the exact period of time when the alleged offense took place, and Dylan did live at the Hotel Chelsea later in the year and in early 1966 with Lownds and their newborn son Jesse.

Bob sells his catalog for 300+ millions. You can guess the rest. Complete bullshit.

His accuser is a full time psychic that charges $250/hour so you can talk to your dead relatives, etc. through her. She claims to be the unidentified woman in a photo with Dylan from the time. The woman in that photo does not appear to be 12 years old, or even the right race.

Why's no one talking bout the song 'One of us must know (sooner or later)' which literally has the line, 'I didn't realise, how young you were' blondeonblonde BobDylan bobdylanlawsuit

How about Rolling Stone admit it did the story without 'BOTHERING' to check basic facts, first? Or, did RS know that Dylan was not in the U.S., at the said time, and printed the story, without that fact, anyway?

ltaford I have a hard time believing Dylan remembers the summer of 65, let alone where he was and what he was doing.

Note threadbear sneers at 'Dylanologists'--if you've attended BobDylan closely you know they range from kooks to foggy academics. Heylin's scholarship is pretty thorough. The upbeat persecution lawyers'll need more'n blogs & hearsay to convict. Somebody backing this show? 🧐

This is a crazy claim against Bob. I don’t believe it. But these Dylanologists must not know Bob Dylan that well if they think his every move was documented. It’s like they don’t even know who the master spy of rock n roll was? The guy who ran circles around everyone.

'It is almost impossible to find one week - let alone six - that spring when Dylan could have been staying at the Chelsea Hotel,' says Dylan expert Clinton Heylin.

Where'd you fellas get the name for your magazine by the way?

Not sure why you keep posting about this. Have you heard about the statute of limitations?

Dylanologists? Fire your writers

It doesn’t matter. America’s greatest songwriter is now canceled. Just go ahead and accept it.

Every Bob Dylan fan on the planet when reading the accusations for the first time...... 'April to May 1965? But that's when 'Don't Look Back' was filmed! ....reaches for DVD of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez leaving Seattle and flying to England..... Exhibit A, your honor.
