"Do you suffer from sore eyes, groovy forehead, or curly hair? Take Zimdon!," John Lennon says to a droopy Bob Dylan in this footage from the 1966 documentary "Eat the Document." The scene was recreated in the recent film "I'm Not There" I'm Not There clip - Cate Blanchett
Some theorize that Dylan was trying to set Lennon up in this "scene", and it backfired on him. In other words, some think Dylan was attempting to make Lennon uncomfortable, or trying to provoke him with some obnoxious comments or bizarre behavior, just to get some interesting footage for a documentary. I kind of doubt that, as Bob seems a bit too out of sorts to be plotting anything quite so devious. What do YOU think? Here's ALL the footage:

Here is Dylan verbally manhandling a Time Magazine reporter in the documentary "Don't Look Back." Having become accustomed to the far more mellow, laid back Dylan of recent years, I was surprised to see how brash, and audacious he was in some of this old footage (posted by Steve Walrus at youtube)...
Lennon's attitude toward the press and others in general seemed to be much more gracious, and urbane (posted by beatlesaus at youtube)...
In these interview clips we, can see the contrasting psyches of these two music giants which would clash in what will forever be known as...
THE BOB DYLAN-JOHN LENNON CAB RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geez, sounds like a horror movie, or a ride at an amusement park or somethin'....

I like when Dylan starts to make fun of Johnny Cash and then begs D.A. Pennebaker not to include it in the film. Lennon for the most part is fairly quiet.
Yes, John remains quite stoic and dignififed through the whole thing.
