Unrecognized,
Dylan is considerate to cop who stops him
A stroll through a neighborhood in Long Branch, New Jersey last month
gave the writer of Like A Rolling Stone a rare first
hand experience of being treated "...like a complete unknown".
Stopped by police while strolling and looking at houses the afternoon
(7/23) of a Jersey ballpark concert with
Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp, the legendary
singer was asked by a 22 year old officer who he was and why he was
there. When his name and explanation did not register and he was
unable to produce ID, Dylan was told to get in the patrol car.
Dylan politely obliged and was driven to the hotel the tour was
using, where officials vouched for him. Earlier this year
Dylan remained incognito while visiting the house John Lennon live
in as a child [story].
