Yeah, to read some of Dylan's jousts with the press at that time can be truly hilarious. He was so disenchanted with them and their usual idiotic questions that he would say anything just to knock them off balance.

Regarding Grossman...it's a scene where he is almost unbelievably rude to a member of the hotel staff in some large hotel, referring to him contemptuously as a "dried up old fruit", I think it was. The man looks stunned, and replies "I'm just as God made me, sir!", which is a rather good answer. Grossman was a pretty creepy character. He and Dylan later sued each other mutually for this and that, thus enriching a goodly number of high-priced lawyers...
