Decades ago Bob Dylan mused: "“If I told you what our music is really about, we’d probably all get arrested."
What got the self-described poet nearly arrested in New Jersey this week was his age and appearance.
Two Jersey shore cops nearly a half century younger than the 68-year-old Dylan collared the singer-songwriter and asked for his ID after somebody complained about a "suspicious scruffy old man" lurking about.

He had no ID. So what's your name? Bob Dylan. Didn't ring a bell.
So the media are regurgitating lines from Dylan's hit "Like A Rolling Stone." How does it feel? To be on your own. A complete unknown (I know it by heart).
Dylan was on tour with another old fart - Willie Nelson - and staying at a nearby hotel.
