Speaker 1: Is this recording? Okay, this is Dr Ed Taylor. It's Friday,
Speaker 1: July nineteen sixty six. I met my home in Middletown,
Speaker 1: New York. I have an unexpected patient here at my house.
Speaker 1: Robert Allen and the Zimmerman, a k a. Bob Dylan.
Speaker 1: He was involved in a motorcycle crash about an hour
Speaker 1: north of here, up the Woodstock. When he's sleeping, I
Speaker 1: often hear him shouting, her battling about his future. Right now,
Speaker 1: I say he's showing signs of a delusional disorder. And
Speaker 1: to be honest, I'm worried about his recovery. In nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty six, Bob Dylan crashed his Triumph motorcycle on a
Speaker 1: road in upstate New York, and then he disappeared. As
Speaker 1: Dylan recovered privately in the house of a local doctor.
Speaker 1: No one knew where he was. When he resurfaced, he
Speaker 1: was transformed. He looked different, he sounded different. What exactly
Speaker 1: happened to Bob Dylan during those ten days? Was he
Speaker 1: actually recovering from injuries sustained in the accident, detoxing from
Speaker 1: heavy drug use. Was he suffering from a mental breakdown
Speaker 1: having just completed a polarizing world tour and released a
Speaker 1: game changing double album, Or did the Bob Dylan You
