People Whose Names Changed Very Slightly #27:
Morrissey's book “Autobiography" contains a passing reference to Albert Grossman, who was Bob Dylan's manager for most of the 60s. He was large and sometimes fierce and clearly someone you would rather have fighting for you than against you; but he has a distinctly clean reputation as rock managers go.
Grossman was never indiscreet about his clients and never wrote a book, yet he is referred to scathingly as a kind of model for muck-raking mud-slinging unreliable rockstar biographers. All of which would make perfect sense provided Morrissey actually meant to name instead the infamous Dylanologist A J Weberman, known for stealing and studying Dylan's garbage and for, unsurprisingly, having a bitter feud with him.
