<p dir="auto">In his memoirs entitled "Chronicles" (2004) Dylan wanted to set fire to them. He referred to the hippies as "gangs of drop-outs and druggies." They turned up at his family home in Woodstock and according to him, walked over his roof or tried to break in. Dylan went on to say: "I had very little in common with and knew even less about a generation that I was supposed to be the voice of."</p>

<p dir="auto">Yeah I heard that as well, that the original site for the Woodstock Festival was right by his house, and he was mad that they were hanging around there. I also read that he said that one of the reasons he refused to play because he just didn't want to perform in front of "a bunch of unwashed hippies"<br />

<p dir="auto">He certainly wasn't into the whole 'peace and love' vibe. Seem to remember him once mocking hippies-as a bunch of kids on acid with flowers in their hair and saying he couldn't understand why anyone would take them seriously.<br />
There's also a feeling that the organisers of the Woodstock festival chose their venue because it was near to where Dylan was then living-the idea being to tempt him back onto the stage but he point blank refused to play. I know he also wrote in his autobiography about fans breaking into his house and following him around-seem to remember he wrote something about wan5b4ting to shoot them!</p>
