HOW DOES IT FEEL?

Posted in Bob Dylan with tags Bob Dylan, detained, Long Branch, N.J., Woodstock on 8/16/2009 6:52:35 AM by Rob Barnett




I'm watching a rebroadcast of the original Woodstock movie on the 40th anniversary and reading the news that broke a few days ago about Bob Dylan.

Dylan didn't play the Woodstock festival, but his unique magic has some roots in the earth and mud  surrounding this holy ground 90 miles northwest of New York City.

Long Branch, N.J. is about 150 miles south of the spot where a 3-day festival in 1969 became an external example of rock's power to create community.

Bob Dylan was walking through this oceanfront community last month - taking a break during his never-ending tour. Dylan was reportedly on a stroll looking at houses when he was detained by two officer in their 20's suspecting him of suspicious behavoir.

The reason the story captured the world's attention is that neither of the officers had any idea of who Bob Dylan was. The incident was resolved peacefully and the best part of the news mentions how cool Dylan was about the whole thing.

Here's hoping the officers are online now - buying some of his music.


THE SKLAR BROTHERS



Randy & Jason Sklar are the stars and Exec Producers of the Emmy-nominated "Back on Topps" on My Damn Channel. It's the best sports comedy series in the history of the interweb.

The Sklar Brothers are in town for weekend live shows at Comix in NY. Two more shows tonite. Be there. Info here.

They hit the My Damn Channel NY offices yesterday for interviews with Grace that you'll start seeing next week & throughout the race to the cliffhanger of Season 2.

We're now officially in awe of these two men. They're funny as hell. You'll witness their death-defying comedy on our rooftop on video next week.....or defy death by coughing up lungs and other organs LIVE with Jason & Randy TONIGHT.

Thanks to our friends at Vuguru - especially Ryan Barlow for letting us in on da fun. To Michelle Vargas for being beyond. To Charlie Singer! And to our DAMN intern, Duncan Moore for the headzuppedness!
