A teachable moment for Gates, Urkel, and Cadillac Devalle.

I’ll bet Dylan didn’t mind a bit. Thought it was an interesting way to spend an afternoon probably.

Apparently, the person who phoned it in was racist....
“The incident began at 5 p.m. when a resident said a man was wandering around a low-income, predominantly minority neighborhood several blocks from the oceanfront looking at houses.”

"A 24-year-old police officer apparently was unaware of who Dylan is and asked him for identification, said Long Branch business administrator Howard Woolley."
They really need to do a better job in the music programs at these NEA-controlled public schools.

I may have to carry around a couple CDs to have in handy for the next time a young cop pulls me over for a traffic ticket.

From what I've heard about Bob Dylan, the man and his bohemian attitude ... this was probably no big deal for him ... he probably cooperated fully with the cops and didn't raise a fuss such as "do you know who I am?". They took him back to the hotel where tour crew vouched for him ... no problem.
I think that this reporter is only publishing this episode because in this celebrity driven media something like this happens and it is, of course - Bob Dylan - but otherwise its a non-story

Hmmm, did he go all Henry Gates on them? Not likely. I recall a story from years ago contrasting Dylan with Elton John as they tried at difference times to enter Israel. EJ made a "big celebrity" fuss, while Dylan just quietly got into the security line.

Bob is good people. Not what some might think of as a typical celebrity/rock star type.
Most the time, he enjoys being a complete unknown.

So an old white guy decides to go for a walk. Wanders into a predominantly minority neighborhood. The police stop him and demand his papers. He can't produce his ID so they put him in the squad car and take him back to his hotel and have someone vouch for him.
Too bad he wasn't an illegal alien. They wouldn't have hassled him at all.

One of his songs came on in the car the other day. My son’s only comment was “That’s his voice?”
‘nuff said.

Bob was probably just wandering around and soaking up the atmosphere. There’ll probably soon be a song about it.

Bob Dylan is great. Think I’ll listen to some ‘Blood on the Tracks’ right now...
