What is the world coming to? Bob Dylan is on tour in New Jersey. At around 5pm evening time, before his concert, he took a walk in a run-down neighborhood near his concert venue. Not doing anything remarkable, and dressed in a blue jacket, apparently he got called on by someone who had seen him. As a result, two cops drive up to him and want to know who he is. Here’s the ensuing dialog.
“What is your name, sir?” said the first officer.
“Bob Dylan,” answered Bob Dylan.
“OK, what are you doing here?” the officer asked again.
“I’m on tour,” said the singer.
Another officer, also in his mid 20s, came to the first officer’s assistance. Remarkably, he had no idea who Dylan was.
Anyway, the officers took him back to his hotel where his staff, probably flabbergasted, told the police who they had brought back.
