Talk about "Idiot Wind"-- It seems that some of Bob Dylan's neighbors are singing some Bad Luck Blues about what is Blowin' In The Wind from his Malibu toilet.
A family living on "Desolation Row" near the 67-year-old icon's house in the beachside community of Malibu are singing the Tax Payin' Blues-- and complained to city officials about an outdoor portable toilet, which is apparently used by guards All Along the Watchtower on Dylan's compound.
Cindy and David Emminger say the toilet wafts fumes from waste treatment chemicals, and that the smell carried by breezes from the Pacific Ocean gives them the Subterranean Homesick Blues.
Emminger is calling on his folk singer neighbor to "Quit Your Low Down Ways", telling the L.A. Times, "It's a scandal - 'Mr. Civil Rights' is killing our civil rights." But Malibu Mayor Andy Stern said other neighbors believe that this is all Too Much Of Nothing, having reported no bad smells coming from the toilet, and believes that Times They Are-A Changin', saying that he has referred the matter to the enforcers of the city's code on objectionable odors.
"I really have not involved myself in Bob Dylan's toilet, and by the way I haven't involved myself in anyone else's toilet in Malibu," Stern said.
