NEWS: Bob Dylan Scares Children

When I was younger I was scared of his face.

i love it hahaa. this is amazing.

who doesn't love harry dean stanton?

This article was a joke about Dylan so I wrote something about all the other singer song writters we like to give a hard time too.

Hence this guy ----->

for those who as "how is this news?" weel, it is because it is Mr. D!!!! we aint talkin bout COnor Oberst, Trent Razor or Ryan Cabera or other "cool" people Sgers are familiar with. Every thing he does baffles critics and fans and adds to his legend. like when he did Victoria's secret or converted. Why is this news? Indeed, peopl!

I love Bob Dylan but it does seem really random to just go and sing songs to kindergardeners.

Bob should bring Keith along next time.

I think that was PhotoChopped so he doesn't look so bad. The following is the original:

I loved him in Terminator 2.

Well done.

it's a scientific fact that Keith Richards is made of liquid metal. well, his liver anyway.

He HAS had more than a little "Persian Gold" rolling through his veins.

Bob Dylan being "random?"

Hard to imagine.

"Suicides", you mean...

Afew suicide quotes from Dylan songs:

Funny Waits was brought up in this Dylan thread - on the way back home from a Chameleon show, I was listening to the radio show Dylan DJs and he plyed a song my "my godd friend Mr. Tom Waits, He plays him a lot on his show. Good choice.

This gave me the best laugh I've had in a while

(and although he's a genius, Bob Dylan IS a little creepy)

Bob Dylan is pure genius, and a master of his own language. Don't wear sandals, try to avoid the scandals. Don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum. The pump don't work because the vandals took the handles.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Rock legend Bob Dylan was treated like a complete unknown by police in a New Jersey shore community when a resident called to report someone wandering around the neighborhood.

Dylan was in Long Branch, about a two-hour drive south of New York City, on July 23 as part of a tour with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp that was to play at a baseball stadium in nearby Lakewood.

A 24-year-old police officer apparently was unaware of who Dylan is and asked him for identification, Long Branch business administrator Howard Woolley said Friday.

“I don’t think she was familiar with his entire body of work,” Woolley said.

The incident began at 5 p.m. when a resident said a man was wandering around a low-income, predominantly minority neighborhood several blocks from the oceanfront looking at houses.

The police officer drove up to Dylan, who was wearing a blue jacket, and asked him his name. According to Woolley, the following exchange ensued:

“What is your name, sir?” the officer asked.

“Bob Dylan,” Dylan said.

“OK, what are you doing here?” the officer asked.

“I’m on tour,” the singer replied.

A second officer, also in his 20s, responded to assist the first officer. He, too, apparently was unfamiliar with Dylan, Woolley said.

The officers asked Dylan for identification. The singer of such classics as “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Blowin’ in the Wind” said that he didn’t have any ID with him, that he was just walking around looking at houses to pass some time before that night’s show.

The officers asked Dylan, 68, to accompany them back to the Ocean Place Resort and Spa, where the performers were staying. Once there, tour staff vouched for Dylan.

The officers thanked him for his cooperation.

“He couldn’t have been any nicer to them,” Woolley added.

How did it feel? A Dylan publicist did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment Friday."

This is so fuuny! I think its so cool that Bob Dylan went down and the kids saw this guy-who to be fair, is very old and grizled-and he singing these tunes spinning them out. Cool.

Dylan also got arrested for vagrancy in Jersey recently. He was checking out a house he was considering buying when some of the neighbors phoned in the strange disheveled looking man who was prowling around a house in their neighborhood. Cops showed up, and asked what he was up to. They didn't believe his story that he was Bob Dylan.

Bob has a history of upsetting audiences of course. Any VH1 or Rolling Stone or whatever "top ten rock and roll moments" list would be sorely lacking if it didn't include Bob at the Newport Folk Festival in 65:


Once you're a 60+year pop culture icon nobody over the age of 12 is going to give you an unbiased opinion, so maybe you gotta go run things by an objective audience every now & then.

This story is hilarious. As is the accompanying thread. I can appreciate Dylan now but I bet I would have thought he was weird and scary too if he had visited my class as a kid.

I wonder if any of these kids will grow up to brag about how Bob Dylan came around to their kindergarten to play songs for them back in the day.

And who is this Connor Oberst, anyway?
