Mon Jan 13 23:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Bob Dylan’s Biggest Critic Rails Against New Biopic
**NEW YORK** – A.J. Weberman, a longtime and outspoken critic of Bob Dylan, disrupted a recent screening of the new Dylan biopic, “A Complete Unknown,” with a two-hour-plus running commentary. Weberman, 80, vehemently denounced the film as inaccurate and misleading, weaving in conspiracy theories involving communism, the CIA, and the Bay of Pigs Invasion to support his claims.
For over 50 years, Weberman has been a controversial figure in the Dylan sphere. His obsession began with a meticulous examination of Dylan’s life, including famously sifting through the singer’s trash. However, this fascination morphed into a deep-seated animosity, labeling Dylan a “hoaxer” and “sellout.”
Weberman’s recent outburst at the film screening highlights his enduring anti-Dylan campaign. He views the biopic as another attempt to sanitize Dylan’s image and is using this opportunity to promote his own upcoming book offering alternative interpretations of Dylan’s lyrics. He continues to receive a flood of inquiries regarding his perspective on the film and Dylan’s legacy. The incident left fellow audience members bewildered, highlighting the enduring, if unconventional, impact Weberman has had on the Dylan narrative.
