The Dylan content:
Janet says they moved to Woodstock largely to be in
the vicinity of Bob Dylan, who was living there at
the time.
Seeking Dylan
"Van fully intended to become Dylan's best
friend, but the whole time we were there they never
met." She winced at the memory. "Every time we'd
drive past Dylan's house--Van didn't drive, I did--
Van would just stare wistfully out the window at
the gravel road leading to Dylan's place. He thought
Dylan was the only contemporary worthy of his
attention. But back then, Bob just wasn't interested
in him.
