'Stench' Blowing in the Wind at Bob Dylan's Malibu Home Email Print Comment(12) Sharing RSS KTLA News March 16, 2009 MALIBU -- A couple in Malibu is complaining that their neighbor, rock poet Bob Dylan, has permanently parked a stinky portable potty next to the property line they share with him. Cindy and Dave Emminger wrote a letter to a local weekly newspaper publicly complaining that the City of Malibu has not helped them address the problem. The Emmingers said Dylan rented a "toxic, hazardous, carcinogenic chemical toilet," and "plopped it down next to their home." The toilet spews horrible chemical odors into their home, the couple said. "This toilet is apparently intended by my neighbor, Bob Dylan, to be a permanent fixture on his property," the Emmingers complained. The city's code enforcement staff has apparently been unable to force Dylan to remove the potty. A spokesman for Dylan could not be reached for comment Sunday, and the City of Malibu routinely refuses to comment on specific code enforcement issues. Dylan has lived in Malibu for decades, where he has put together an equestrian compound by buying up several adjacent properties in an older section of the city, not far from Zuma beach.
