Sir Bob Dylan, himself no stranger to chemical influence |

Dylan, who was performing an unannounced set at the Homebrew promoting his new album, was extremely surprised and delighted by the honor.
“It was very cool,” said Dylan. “You don’t get into this life with thought of major rewards like being knighted. You do it for the music, or maybe the money. This is quite a big moment for me and I’d like to thank the drug- influenced guy who bestowed this upon me, wherever he is.”
Dylan was on his way to the parking lot of the club with friends when the unidentified high guy stopped him in the alley, proclaimed Dylan the man, and knighted him with a very quick tap on each of his shoulders with an empty Thunderbird bottle, pretending it was a sword. He then pissed his pants and stumbled back into the club. Surprised but happy with the honor, Dylan continued on to his car.
“I thought about trying to find the guy, but I didn’t want to insult him after he had just done this very great thing for me. I was also a bit shocked by it all. Even if you expect this sort of thing is going to happen, some alley behind a club is about the last place you’re ready for it.”
Columbia Records, Dylan’s label, has jumped all over the high-press event. New releases of all Dylan’s previous albums are being issued with a royal seal on them under the artist heading of “Sir Bob Dylan.”
“Everyone at Columbia has always known America has a special genius in Bob Dylan,” said Columbia V.P. of Advertising John Bonlee, “and now people everywhere will know that. The dude on heroin or crack or whatever behind that club knew it, and recognized Dylan for his years of service to the music industry and world as a whole.”
Sources report that if the blitzed night club rambler can be found, Columbia Records would like to have him knight Dylan again, just for the sake of press, on a two-hour TV special with friends and fellow musicians playing songs in Dylan’s honor. Dylan, who has written rock ‘n’ roll and folk staples like “Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Blowin’ in the Wind,” and “Like A Rolling Stone,” could not verify the possibility of a two-hour TV event, but said he would definitely not want to air opposite Friends and Survivor.
the commune news stands for truth, justice, and the American way, but not all at the same time. Ramon Nootles will not stand for injustice, but he doesn’t mind sitting on his fat ass for it.
