Bob Who?

I'm gonna need some ID.

I'm gonna need some ID.

Bob Dylan was stopped by the NJ police for looking “suspicious,” walking around a neighborhood in the rain and peeking into the window of a house for sale. The police asked Bob Dylan for identification and Bob Dylan said he didn’t have any. He said, “I’m Bob Dylan,” but the police didn’t believe him so they all walked back to Bob Dylan’s tour bus so he could get his ID. No word on whether or not Bob Dylan felt this was racist, a violation of his right to walk around in the rain or if he’ll be invited to the White House for a beer. Maybe he’ll get a good protest song out of it…?

      this story cracked me up yesterday. when i saw him some years ago the security guards wouldn’t let him backstage of his own show because they didn’t recognize him.

      … why that’s a real jackass comment to make.

      Didn’t mean to belittle the Gates case, just the way the media blew it up into a frenzy.

      Tongue planted firmly in cheek.

      “Meant to” or not, the remark can only be read that way. Writers should have some control over the implications of their words. And to say you’re not belittling it, you just think the media paid too much attention to it is itself a contradiction.

      I think, you know, I think you were a little bit, I mean, leave Gates out of it, he’s okay, you know? I like that guy. Different when it’s your own house, you know?
