A 24-year-old officer detained a “hooded, disheveled, rain-soaked” main in a New Jersey suburb last month. When the man—who said he was looking for a house for sale—told the cop he was touring with with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp, she wondered if he might have escaped from the mental hospital.
“I asked him what his name was and he said, ‘Bob Dylan,’ the officer said. “Now, I’ve seen pictures of Bob Dylan from a long time ago and he didn’t look like Bob Dylan to me at all. He was wearing black sweatpants tucked into black rain boots, and two raincoats with the hood pulled down over his head.”
Naturally, he didn’t have any ID on him and no matter what he told her, she just didn’t believe Dylan was who he said he was. Eventually, after driving him back to his tour bus, they cleared the whole thing up.
