Dylan pulls a Pynchon. Wonder if they talked? But didn't have to.

[Heikki R]

"[Stones] had a good time at Desert Trip, treating it as a sort of
boomer-rock class reunion. They were all particularly happy to see
just-anointed Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan, who brought onesies for Wood's
now-six-month-old twin girls. Wood and Watts asked Dylan how he felt about
his honor. "He said, 'I don't know,' " recalls Wood. "'How should I feel?
Is it good?' I said, 'You're kidding. We really think it's great and you
deserve it.' And Dylan said, 'Do I?'"
