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.
