    No Direction Home: Bob Dylan

    Do you think the people who booed Dylan on that UK tour lie about it now when they tell people they saw him at the peak of his popularity? The 'judas' jibe is the most famous invective directed at him, but please reserve a special place in your heart for the fan who called him a 'fake neurotic' - I'm still trying to unpack what that actually means.
