Bob Dylan's Toilet Stench Blowin' in the Malibu Wind

"RUSH: Here's a story out of Malibu, California, where Bob Dylan has a compound, and some of his neighbors are charging in "an increasingly odoriferous dispute" that he's got a portable toilet outside the house, and the odors coming from this estate, which is Point Dume, are getting to the point that they're intolerable."

"Residents contend that the nighttime sea breeze sends a noxious odor from a portable toilet on Dylan's property wafting into their homes. The stench has made members of one family ill and forced them to abandon their bedrooms on warm nights, they say. For more than six months, Dylan, 67, has ignored their complaints and their pleas to remove the outhouse, the downwind neighbors say. 'It's a scandal -- 'Mr. Civil Rights' is killing our civil rights,' said David Emminger, whose home is directly behind the toilet..." Now, the outhouse... You may be wondering, "What the hell is Bob Dylan doing with an outhouse?" Isn't he an environmentalist wacko, and isn't this how environmentalists want us all to live: doing all this au naturel out in the woods and so forth? They don't like this in Malibu? They probably wouldn't like this in Marin County, either."
