Does this man look suspicious to you? Right on the heels of the Professor Henry Lewis Gates (self) house break-in, we have this story:Music icon Bob Dylan, age 68, was ambling around a New Jersey seaside neighborhood last week when an alert homeowner called police about a "scruffy looking" stranger lurking about.
When the 24 year old policewoman arrived to question the man, he immediately confessed that his name was Bob Dylan.
"Who?"
He then told her he was in town for a concert that evening with Willie Nelson and John Melloncamp.
"Who?"
She drove him to his hotel where his manger vouched for him. So, crisis over.
But there was some later speculation about how maybe Bob Dylan was looking for Bruce Springsteen's old house where he (Dylan) wrote Born to Run. God only knows what he might have done - or written - if he'd found it.
