HAS Bob Dylan lost it - or is he just showing a more slender than ever regard for the facts of his own life? Last Saturday night, 38 summers after the Woodstock music-peace-and-love festival, Dylan finally got around to playing on the sacred turf of Max Yasgur's farm.
Dressed in black, he played his way through a set ranging from The Times They Are A'Changing to his latest album, Modern Times.
"It's nice to be back here," he said, squinting at what is now the Bethel Woods Centre for the Arts. "Last time we played here, we had to play at six in the morning, and it was a-rainin', and the field was full of mud."
What? Dylan lived in Woodstock the village in 1969, and he did play the Isle of Wight, Britain's version of the festival, where it also rained. But he famously skipped the Woodstock festival, and everyone knows it.
As they say: if you can remember the Sixties, you weren't there.
