Wandering While White.
He might as well have told them that his name is Bob Zimmerman.
Sounds like he had a lot of nerve.
If you ever go to Houston
Better walk right
Keep your hands in your pockets
And your gun-belt tight
You’ll be asking for trouble
If you’re lookin’ for a fight
If you ever go to Houston
Boy, you better walk right
If you’re ever down there
On Bagby and Lamar
You better watch out for
The man with the shining star
Better know where you’re going
Or stay where you are
If you’re ever down there
On Bagby and Lamar
I know these streets
I’ve been here before
I nearly got killed here
During the Mexican war
Something always
Keeps me coming back for more
I know these streets
I’ve been here before
If you ever go to Dallas
Say hello to Mary Anne
Say I’m still pullin’ on the trigger
Hangin’ on the best that I can
If you see her sister Lucy
Say I’m sorry I’m not there
Tell her other sister Betsy
To pray the sinner’s prayer
I got a restless fever
Burnin’ in my brain
Got to keep ridin’ forward
Can’t spoil the game
The same way I leave here
Will be the way that I came
Got a restless fever
Burnin’ in my brain
Mr. Policeman
Can you help me find my gal
Last time I saw her
Was at the Magnolia Hotel
If you help me find her
You can be my pal
Mr. Policeman
Can you help me find my gal
If you ever go to Austin
Fort Worth or San Antone
Find the bar rooms I got lost in
And send my memories home
Put my tears in a bottle
Screw the top on tight
If you ever go to Houston
You better walk right
WANDERING WHILE WHITE...!
Were the officers BLACK? This story has RUSH written allllll over it..!
All Bob had to do was to start ‘singing’ for them.
The cops would have fled the scene asap.
Those police officers acted stupidly
didn’t they Obambi?
Take the train down from the city
Get sick get well hang around the Inkwell
The Inkwell was a coffee house/nightclub on the north end of town ... became Mumford's restaurant I think
.
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didnt you?
Peopled call, say, beware doll, youre bound to fall
You thought they were all kiddin you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin out
Now you dont talk so loud
Now you dont seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Media trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill again.
Dylan wasn’t “detained”. He was merely asked for ID.while lurking around a not so nice hood.
Well, my sons knew about this the day after it happened, so we can’t really say it wasn’t reported. Obviously, there’s no way scream “racism” when an old white guy is detained, so there’s clearly no story here.........
Using common sense, match subject to reaction by drawing lines
Subject Reaction
2. teacher B. shuffling, giggling, mollifying statements
Apparently in NJ you can’t walk down the street without the cops having RAS to terry stop you. Sad.
I’d bet a shiney new nickel that the ride back to the buss to get ID’d wasn’t voluntary. The title should read “Bob Dylan Arrested by cops week after gates....” Just because he wasn’t charged doesn’t mean he wasn’t unlawfully arrested.
Oh man he really mst feel old tonight after he realized that her Grandmother might’ve instantly recognized him! ;)
OK so we know the neighborhood was black.
We know the suspicious guy was white.
We DO NOT know the race of the cops. It wouldn’t tell us anything conclusive, but it’s still relevant, and it’s conspicuous by omission.

The difference between having class and respect for cops and being a classless racist POS >>>
there was a time in America when an American citizen could walk on the public sidewalks without having to show his “papers” to the government as they had to do in communist countries.
It’s too bad conservatives don’t know when their civil rights are taken away from them. That’s why we’re all in trouble.
