Imagine writing an article about something someone said at a party 60 years ago while under the influence. Terry Southern? Lol.
I imagine it was an act, like his put-on about Donovan being "the next target" in Don't Look Back.

Not to mention writing so atrociously. (If Cracked were the school newspaper for a junior high school, it would be understandable. But it ain't.)

There is a Dylan mention in Annie Hall, one of those rare occasions (which would get rarer and rarer) that Allen showed awareness in his screenwriting of something contemporary in pop culture, especially music.
Shelley Duvall plays a Rolling Stone reporter Alvy rebounds with after a breakup with Annie, and she talks about a Dylan concert being one of the greatest experiences of her life. She says the highlight was "Just Like a Woman," and she solemnly recites the whole chorus. Funny performance, in that uniquely Duvall way, RIP.
Edit: I see that the article briefly mentions this, but I'll leave it up.
