Fact #40654

When:

Short story:

Bob Dylan is detained by police in Long Branch, New Jersey, USA, after he is seen on a rainy day looking in a window of a house for sale. Police officers, called by neighbours, fail to recognize Dylan, who is not carrying ID, so they drive him to his hotel where his staff confirm his identity. The officers describe Dylan as polite and "really cool about the whole incident". It is later realised that the area is close to where Bruce Springsteen wrote Born to Run, so Dylan may have been looking for Springsteen's former house.
