WOODSTOCK, NOT!: Word is that Bob Dylan’s appearance at the Woodstock 25th anniversary festival in August may see the star reunited with the Band. But don’t look for Robbie Robertson to be there. A spokesman for Robertson says that the former Band leader, with chilly relations between him and drummer Levon Helm after some unflattering characterizations of Robertson in Helm’s autobiography last year, has not been asked about appearing.

Robertson is keeping busy, though. Having moved to Capitol Records from Geffen along with new Capitol President Gary Gersh, Robertson is putting the finishing touches on his first album for the label--a soundtrack for the documentary series “The Native Americans,” featuring a collection of native performers from across North America. Robertson is also co-writing songs with Eric Clapton for a 1995 album by the English guitarist that Robertson will produce.
