If you believe that Bob Dylan has been behind a series of rather odd tweets lately, then this one tops them all.

After tweeting about going to see Nick Cave perform in Paris and enjoying his song "Joy," one of the comments was from a dancer who claims to have briefly worked with him 23 years ago.

Cheryl Henry writes, "My 'Joy' was taken away after rehearsing as one of the back-up dancers for your set on the Grammys in New York City in 1991.

"We all had to walk single file to exit thru the backstage area, past the dressing rooms where you were standing wearing a hooded black robe, kinda like the boxers used to wear, and you said to me as I passed, 'Now don’t you go cutting that long red hair of yours before tomorrow night.'

"By the time I reached the exit door at Radio City [Music Hall] I had been told not to return. Nadine (who was running things) had told us all before NOT to make eye contact with you! I guess I snuck a peek as I passed you!..."

Dylan responded, writing, "Saw your reply. Just want you to know I’ve never told anybody not to make eye contact with me. That is just ridiculous. And the next time you see me please look straight into my eyes.”

Cheryl then said, "I knew it wasn’t coming from you! I look forward to it ! XXXX OOOO”

More times than not security or artist handlers make these requests about not looking. Among those rumored to request no eye contact are Prince, Barbra Streisand, Tom Cruise, Katy Perry, Sylvester Stallone, Sandra Bullock and Leonardo DiCaprio.
