You’re Bob Dylan? Police want to see some ID

"A 24-year-old police officer apparently was unaware of who Dylan is and asked him for identification"

That's why.

 

Aaaaaand the point is?

He looks like any other old man off the street. Sorry, but being a celebrity doesn't give you any special privileges. The cops were doing their job by escorting a suspicious man out of the neighborhood. No harm was done.

 

If he had refused to comply, would we have a 20+ page thread on it tomorrow?

Complete with political race related religious off topic arguing from the OP discussion.

From that picture? No way. Just some old white guy.

 

Are you a 24 year old female cop in Jersey, by chance?

 

You definitely haven't heard him talk/"sing" recently.

 

Yeah, but we're all musicians here. Any other regular person off the street I don't think would instantly recognize him.

 

Every single album?

You've listened to Self Portrait?


Start to finish?

 

Non-story.

I remember walking along the street one night about 1 AM to my friend's house and a cop driving by and then turning around and coming back to check on my ID. I didn't have my wallet on me (yeah, I don't need it and I don't carry it around wherever I go ) but I told him my name and he looked it up in his computer and decided that I wasn't a "criminal". Yet he insisted upon playing twenty questions with me and wanted to know where I was going and what I was doing at that time of night. I made sure to be polite and respectful to the guy but I finally told him that I was going to visit my buddy on the other side of town and I had no obligation to provide him with any details such as addresses or phone numbers.

He agreed and wished me to "Have a good night, sir!" and then proceeded to tail me on the back streets a few blocks away until I arrived at my friend's house. I knocked and then entered, after which the cop drove off.

Yep. Non-story.

 

Hi.

A slow news day?

The appearance of celebrities can be decieving sometimes. Once in a show I went to(D.A.D), I almost didn't recognise Ville Valo (H.I.M), even though I had worked with him several times only a few years earlier and we knew eachother quite well.

Also for a celebrity, especially for someone who's mug isn't in every flick, billboard and paper there in sight, there has to be 2000 persons who doesn't recognise him/her for every single one who does.

I'd make a wild guess that the majority of the younger generation doesn't have a clue who Bob dylan is, musician or not.

Ask them about the tune "Knocking On Heavens Door". I'd bet that only one of 10 will give Bob Dylan as the first choice (guess).

Ok first of all

It doesn't matter who he is.

Whats wrong with walking around a neighbor hood?

Who's Bob dylan?



Ok i don't know who he is, the cops shouldn't be expected to know him either..

I wouldn't have went back to the resort...

Who calls the cops on an old guy walking around neighborhood?

Is it a law that you have to carry ID?

 

Perhaps the younger generation know who he is and just don't give a damn.
