(5,163 posts)48. "Checking Out" Big Pink
I was a counselor at a camp in the Catskills, near Woodstock, N. Y. in the mid-1960s (shortly before the Festival, when it was mostly well-known on the east coast as a celebrity retreat). All the locals knew about Big Pink, however, and on days off when one of us had a car, we used to cruise past it, hoping to spot Dylan. All we ever saw were members of his back-up band often hanging around outside At that time, however, it was before they were known in caps, as The Band. Yep, I just turned eighty myself.

While it doesn't approach the vile hatred of racist GOPers, Democrats hate too. Not admirable IMO.

Have a feeling what the "Where's so-and-so?" posts are about, failing the purity test.

The women he was involved with sure learned Dylan wasn't who they wanted him to be early on.
