Did I just hear,that Bob Dylan was recently Busted, for smoking a cigarett in public in California? You can't tell me this is progress.

They should have busted him for that greasy little moustache. I'm sure it would be against the law in Jen Ellen's hometown. Its a hell of a lot scarier than a pair of paper ears.

Thank Goodness that he wasn't wearing the paper ears while smoking in public with his greasy little moustache! He'd never get released!

I read a while ago that Dylan moaned about restrictions on smoking in public places so maybe he he decided to have one last fling at living the "Outlaw Blues". Can we clear up the basic fact though before any more jokes: did he get busted?

Yaknow, smoking is a problem. Not just from a public health point of view though. When I worked for Shell, at their refinery in Essex, they recognized it as a serious problem. Smoking is not compatible with volatile fluids and gases. so they dealt with it in a reasonable and rational way.

Of course they were pragmatic business men and not politicians, or the press, or the gullible public. So they just went ahead and fixed the problem.

If any pragmatic business man has a problem with smoking at his site or workplace, he can send me a personal message and for a comparatively small fee I will divulge the complete solution to his problem.

I bet Bob even smokes in the shower, using a little nose umbrella to keep the cigarette lit! Only Joni Mitchell can surpass his daily intake of nicotine. How strange that I, one of his greatest fans, am a lifetime non-smoker.

Well, I'm sure he can afford the fine, if he did get busted.

Is this what it might be about?

The Associated Press State & Local Wire
March 25, 2002, Monday, BC cycle
HEADLINE: Next to winning, the parties may be the best thing about the Oscars
BYLINE: By CHELSEA J. CARTER, Associated Press Writer
DATELINE: WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.

BODY: When singer Rufus Wainwright saw where he was sitting for dinner at the Elton John Aids Foundation Oscar party he thought he'd been banished to a bad table.

"We sat down and nobody was there," he said. "Then Bob Dylan sat down." The two, both smokers, quickly drew the attention of security in the trendy but smoke-free Moomba's restaurant.

"We made a pact to light up and then we were whisked away," Wainwright said.

The pair ended up in an enclosed private smoking area.

If he doesn't cut back soon he'll ruin that lovely, angelic voice.

It breaks my heart to hear he wasn't actually arrested. I was hoping for a parallel of that dipshit little town in Marin County, California where the only legal place to smoke in the city center is the middle of the street.
