From "San Francisco Chronicle Wed, Oct. 8, 1969"
The recent issue of Rolling
Stones, the rock paper, has a put-on review of "The Masked Marauders",
supposedly a super special secret album featuring Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan,
John Lennon and others doing all sort of far-out things, including Dylan
singing "Season of the Witch". It was intended as a joke. That's right,
son, a joke.
Well sir, everybody is taking
it seriously and not just young people, either. Allen Klein, the business
manager of the Rolling Stonesand the Beatles, called out and wanted to
know where he could get one. Albert Grossman, Dylan's manager, had his
secretary ring through, and ask, and one of the local KSAN disk jockies
wanted to know when they were going to get their copy. Al Kooper, listed
in the review as producing the date, refused to comment to a reporter in
New York, thus adding to the mystery.
And now, gentlemen, let me
clue you in to a real secret: among those attending the millionaires' conference
here recently were Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger and John Lennon. Mama Cass waited
outside for them in the car.
And in all it's a delightful
bit of instant mythology. There were so many give away lines in the review
that it is simply incredible ANYONE believed it. Recorded ay a secret studio
"in a small town near the site of the original Hudson' Bay Colony in Canada".
Indeed!
I find this article in a
