Bob Dylan Might Be at War With His Own Fan Account

The Nobel Prize-winning songwriter and music legend may have alienated his strongest supporters.

Bob Dylan may have sent some of his biggest supporters blowin’ in the wind for good. Daniel Hildebrand, who runs a popular fan page under the name Daily Dylan, shared that he was removed from the 84-year-old music legend’s show in Glasgow on Monday night—supposedly at Dylan’s request. The Daily Dylan account shared on Instagram that Hildebrand was “declared an ‘unwanted person,’” and was asked to leave before the show started, likely due to his association with the fan site. The Daily Dylan social media accounts, which aren’t monetized, would aggregate and post fan footage from Dylan’s performances, despite his efforts to limit fans from filming his shows. However, the account specified that it had “never taken any photos or videos ourselves.” Ironically, the Nobel Prize in Literature recipient released the 18th volume of his own bootleg tapes in September. The page said they would no longer post footage or photos from Dylan’s shows, and are considering closing their social media accounts down permanently. “We are, first and foremost, Bob Dylan fans and want to keep attending his concerts,” the account said. “The idea of being excluded from future shows is truly devastating.” The Daily Beast has reached out to Dylan’s team for clarification.
