The April 12th, 2001 issue of Rolling Stone featured a "Tangled Up In Bob", a cover article about Bob Dylan, his sometimes fanatical fans, and their collections: "In all of American pop culture, there's no obsession that comes close in intensity or complexity to the strange and tender madness that is Dylanology."
An excerpt from the article is available on the Rolling Stone site; below are some scanned photos and illustrations.
