Subterranean Homesale Blues


By now you've probably seen this news story about Bob Dylan being mistaken for a crazy person by police in New Jersey. You can also probably guess that every newspaper attempted to infuse Dylan lyrics into their witty headlines the day this was reported. For example, without any research you can safely assume that "Like a Complete Unknown" was used a lot that day.

Along similar lines, I've been enjoying this comments section of the official Stereogum report about the story. Each commenter is trying to one-up the next with Dylan referencing headlines about what happened. It's good for a few laughs. I stole this post's title from it, by the way.
