Bob Dylan's home is causing a stink in Malibu.
According to local FOX affiliate Los Angeles station KTTV, the odor is causing neighbors to revolt against what is blowing in the wind.
At issue is a porta-potty that sits on a neighbor's property line.
In a letter to the editor that was published by the Malibu Surfside News, Malibu residents Cindy and Dave Emminger publicly complained that the City of Malibu has been unable to help them solve the problem.
The Emmingers accused Dylan of "renting a toxic, hazardous, carcinogenic chemical toilet" and "plopping it down" next to their home, in a rural section of the city overlooking the ocean.
"This toilet is apparently intended by my neighbor, Bob Dylan, to be a permanent fixture on his property," the couple complained. They said the city's code enforcement staff has been unable to force its removal.
Dylan has not commented over the situation.
Dylan has a sprawling Malibu equestrian compound of several lots in an older section of the city.
