[Harp-L] Latest Dylan controversy

[Bobbie Giordano <bogio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When it's a compliment, they always talk about the singer/songwriter, 
when it's about music, it's guitar/songwriter, when it's about scandal, 
it's truly annoying how it always seems to be about Bob Dylan... the 
"harmonica-playing folk singer".  Irritating, to say the least.  Anyway, 
here's another chapter in the saga for the "Harmonica Tabloids"!  :)

SEDGWICK'S BROTHER: 'EDIE LOST DYLAN'S BABY'

Tragic ANDY WARHOL muse EDIE SEDGWICK was forced by doctors to abort BOB 
DYLAN's baby, according to claims from her brother. JONATHAN SEDGWICK 
claims his late sister, who committed suicide at the age of 28, felt a 
"deep love" for Dylan, who denied having a relationship with Edie the one 
time he spoke about her publicly. Jonathan told British newspaper the 
Sunday Times, "She told me she had to be held down by four men because 
she fought them so hard to keep the child she claimed was Bob Dylan's. 
She did tell me later that this was the saddest moment of her life - 
losing Dylan's child." Jonathan's allegations are set to fuel the legal 
row between Dylan and the makers of new movie FACTORY GIRL, in which Edie 
is seen meeting a tall, dark-haired, harmonica-playing folk singer 
remarkably similar to Dylan. The film doesn't mention an abortion, but 
its depiction of a love affair between Edie and the musician has enraged 
Dylan, whose lawyer ORIN SNYDER wrote to the film's producer last month 
(DEC06), saying, "Even though Mr Dylan's name is not used, the portrayal 
remains both defamatory and a violation of Mr Dylan's right of 
publicity." GEORGE HICKENLOOPER, the film's director, said, "No changes 
were made because of the Dylan legal letter. We feel confident Dylan has 
no case."
