I just finished reading Scaduto, so I remember how he reports this.
Scaduto claims that Bob turned up with three friends (they were on a
wild car drive around the country), and Bob was disappointed that
Sandburg didn't recognize him. They didn't talk for long, and Bob
came away dejected --- Sandburg didn't want to listen to anybody but
himself.

I like your version much better!

My family drove up to Flat Rock, North Carolina
to visit the home of the late American folk singer, poet, writer,
historian Carl Sandburg. Sandburg died in the late sixties.
He was 89. His home is now run by the U.S. Park Service.
I had heard or read that Bob had once visited Sandburg,
so I asked one of the Park Service people whether it was true.
The answer: Yes, in the early sixties when Sandburg
was in his eighties Bob shows up at the front door
about 2:00 PM, looking high. Sandburg was leary of
visitors and at first didn't want to talk to him. But after Dylan
told him who he was, Sandburg invited him in and they
spent the afternoon talking.

Robert Shelton, in _No_Direction_Home_, tells essentially this story.
