Bob Who? |
2009-08-15 |
Rock legend Bob Dylan was treated like a complete unknown by police in a New Jersey shore community when a resident called to report someone wandering around the neighborhood. Dylan was about a two-hour drive south of New York City in Long Branch on July 23 as part of a tour with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp that was to play at a baseball stadium in nearby Lakewood. Long Branch business administrator Howard Woolley says a 24-year-old police officer apparently was unaware of who Dylan is and asked him for identification. The singer of such classics as "Like a Rolling Stone" wasn't carrying any, so police took him back to his hotel, where tour staff vouched for him. No charges were filed. How did it feel? "A Napoleon in rags... And the language that he used!" A Dylan publicist hasn't returned a telephone call seeking comment. |

#3 I see no reason for a cop to have to know who any celeb is. In fact, the moment they start assuming the 'little people' should automatically know and defer to who they are, is the moment I would start they are an arrogant, piece of shit in need of deliberate treatment as a 4th class slime mold. |
