One of Bob's sons lives near me and has children the age of my children, so we 
are friendly acquaintances as a result of baseball and basketball teams.  Bob 
usually shows up once a sports season to watch the grandkids, and always shows 
up looking like a homeless derelict.  For that reason, I understand the 
incident.

>> “How does it feel?” Bob Dylan wondered back in 1965, to be on your
>> own, “like a complete unknown.” Now he knows. Two police officers in
>> their 20s asked Mr. Dylan, 68, to provide identification as he took a
>> stroll through Long Branch, N.J., last month, The Associated Press
>> reported.
>> 
>> The officers were responding to a report from residents that an
>> “eccentric-looking old man” had wandered into their yard, according to
>> ABC News. Mr. Dylan, right, who said he was looking at houses to pass
>> some time before that night’s show with Willie Nelson and John
>> Mellencamp, was not carrying identification, so the officers
>> accompanied him back to his hotel, where concert workers vouched for
>> him. “I’ve seen pictures of Bob Dylan from a long time ago, and he
>> didn’t look like Bob Dylan to me at all,” Officer Kristie Buble told
>> ABC News. “We see a lot of people on our beat, and I wasn’t sure if he
>> came from one of our hospitals or something. He was acting very
>> suspicious. Not delusional, just suspicious.”
