Hard-core BOB DYLAN fans will find no rolling stone unturned at an ambitious symposium at the University of Minnesota's Weisman Art Museum later this month. "Highway 61 Revisited: Dylan's Road from Minnesota to the World" includes a bus tour through the folk bard's hometown of Hibbing, Minn., and chats with authors and musicians on such topics as "Einstein Disguised as Robin Hood: The Enigmatic Jewishness of Bob Dylan" and "Hotter Than a Crotch: Bob Dylan at the Borderline of Sleaze." Symposium organizer Colleen Sheehy, explaining Dylan's appeal, says, "He's someone people love to argue...

Same night, same city, Rudd gave a speech on "Prosperity Beyond the Mining Boom" to a business lobby group. In the printed drafts, Rudd's speech is more tightly spaced...
...tune of "Mr. Tambourine Man" but with different words. Dylan didn't crack. He just listened. Finally, Donovan realized that the rest of us were sitting there kind of cracking up. Later, he said [to Dylan], "Well, I heard you sing this somewhere and I thought it was a folk song so I thought the tune was up for grabs." Dylan said, "There have a been a lot of songs that people said I swiped, but that wasn't one of them." And he let it go. It was kind of a funny moment. It would have been nice...
