Late July Bob Dylan Has Run in with LongBranch, NJ Police Investigating A Suspicious Man – Called in by Home Owner

b-dylanBob Dylan’s -A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways,
I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard,
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall… In Long Branch, NJ?

In late July Music superstar Bob Dylan was questioned by Long Branch Police when they were called to investigate a suspicious man peeking into a vacant home. It was later found out Mr. Dylan did nothing wrong and was in the area on tour and was just looking at property.
