Yes 42% 5719
No 58% 7928

I bet you 58 percenters would recognize Paris Hilton sooner than Bob Dylan. :wtf:

[Haole Girl]

1. Oh yeah

:-)

[vadawg]

2. nope, andi would ask himm for ID as well especially if he told me he was bob dylan

in the past month or so, ive arrested the king of siam, jennifer lopez, hannah montanna and a dude called bruce lee, so cops do meet a lot of interesting people.

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Yeah, but those are people you've arrested.

It should be a different standard for people who are just minding their own damn business and not breaking any laws. Hiibel is conservative lawmaking at its best.

3. wanta bet?

4. He kinda looks like my sister-in-law now,

But yeah, once he told me his name, it would have clicked.

[petronius]

6. I wouldn't, and there's a vast number of other people I wouldn't recognize

Hilton's picture is a bit ubiquitous these days; I might recognize her if she was all made up and decked out like in her photos...

7. The only thing that surprises me about that story

Is that the cops didn't immediately tazer and beat the shit out of Bob Dylan.

[graywarrior]

9. He sensed that Bob could kick his ass.

8. Are you kidding? Absofuckinglutely!!! He's a distinctive person all around.

He would be the guest of honor at our block party!

10. apparently not even tho i'm a big fan

he lived here for years and everyone else saw him except me, i never encountered him "just around," only in concert -- considering he's such a private person, i can't imagine approaching him anyway

i just tend not to look at people i don't know, except out of the side of the eye to be sure they're not dangerous or getting too close to me or something

i have also failed to recognize brad pitt and he was right next to me, to the hilarity of some friends who witnessed my cluelessness, i still hear abt that one, altho i'm a bit relieved that another friend recently did the same thing -- he saw pitt but it didn't click until he got home and realized, wait, that really was brad pitt (he didn't see jolie tho)
