Dylan tries to close down Factory

Bob Dylan has got the hump - or, more accurately, added to the size and range of various humps he carries with him, in the way greengrocers carry their coins and notes, in a large canvas sack-cum-apron slung round his waist. He's not happy that he's sort-of-being blamed for the death of Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl, the film of her life.

A character based on Dylan is depicted having a fling and then rejecting the Warholian satellite, triggering her descent into drugs and eventual suicide; Bob is believed to be fuming and threatening to call in some lawyers to make sure he doesn't have his reputation tarnished by the movie. Even although, erm, the movie doesn't mention him by name. Which means, to sue, he'd have to actually name himself as the person the movie shows triggering the descent - theoretically opening himself up to a libel action from himself.
