During the 1966 European tour when as Mojo recalls the lefties were booing Dylan, calling him Judas etc. there is this great story. The heckling was really bad in France and Dylan and the Band had one more perfomance coming up in Paris. Dylan said out loud to Robbie Robertson and others, "What can I do to piss off the French?"

Well when the Band arrived at the Paris venue Dylan had his stage manager drape a twenty foot American flag as a backdrop. This show is captured on teh documentary Eat the Document. One of Dylan's gifts is that he is very good at discerning man's nature and this shows he understood the French anti-Americanism 37 years ago.

Fantasic story, Tweeker. I'm surprised I've never heard that one. I guess I'll have to rent that documentary, if it's available.
