(Newser) – Odors from a portable toilet for workers on Bob Dylan's Malibu estate are blowin' in the wind, and neighbors are none too pleased about it, reports the Los Angeles Times. Sea breezes are delivering noxious smells that are making neighbors ill, they claim, and they're pressing local officials to take action. "It's a scandal. Mr. Civil Rights is killing our civil rights," snorted a neighbor. Dylan, 67, had no comment.
