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.

 

haha i think i read about this like last week and laughed...jersey always amazes me

 

right after i posted that my nephew came into my room and gave me the news paper from yesterday, there was a small article on it haha

 

lol that's funny. fucking cops! how do you not know who bob dylan is?

and of course he was cool the whole time

 

of course, he's bob dylan.
what i want to know is why i didn't go down the shore that day :drool5: i hope he gets a shore house here...

 

jesus. haha

new jersey is like another world

 

i wish i could just come across dylan chillin on the street...wow that would be so tight

 

i know right lol.
i think the funniest part is that someone called the cops because there was a strange fellow walking around hahaha.

 

it's somewhat like something he wrote in his book tatantula.the only thing i can say i remember from that long ago read was someone getting arrested for being incredible in his book.it's probably happened to alot of people.it's happened to me.that guys out walking in sub zero temps."i got a guy out here walking.i think i'll stop him and see what he's up to. over."

 

I can't believe that when he said he was Bob Dylan, nothing popped into the officers head!

 

i'm kinda surprised he didn't have someone accompany him.. i mean he's 68... what if he would have been mugged

 

maybe the cop didn't get it because the cop thought dylan said dillon.

 

your news travels as slow as a turtle..

 

he doesn't need no one he's bob dylan

 

bob dylan is a professional boxer, he could kick ass. So if your gonna mug bob you better have a gun..
