    According to Spitz, Bob met Rubin early December 75. The Benefit
    was
    Dec. 8th, 75. According to Spitz, Rubin told Bob during
    intermission
    that he (Rubin) would be released by Christmas. The story goes
    that
    just before Bob returned for the second half of the show, he found
    out
    that in fact was was false, made up by Rubin himself.

    So - December thru February - 2 and a half months, and the song
    was
    retired.
    ( I believe Houston was another concert for Rubin at the
    Astrodome,
    but i'm not positive on that.)

    So, it would appear, on the surface, Bob quickly soured on Rubin
    after
    meeting him.

    Thanks for the info - I've been meaning to ask about this, but it
    slipped my mind.

    A topic I still wonder about to this day.
