Bob Dylan: Top Ten Sightings

Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature but nobody has seen hide nor hair of him since the announcement was made.

Several individuals claim to have seen Dylan and here are the Top Ten Most Likely Locations for Bob Dylan:

10) Gallup, New Mexico-- Dylan once threw nosey journalists off track about by falsely claiming to be from Gallup.

9) Mosul, Iraq-- A Dylan look-alike, or Dylan himself, was seen working in Iraq, possibly as undercover CIA. Dylan stated his youthful ambition to be a soldier and may be fulfilling that dream under very dangerous circumstances.

8) Village Vanguard-- Dylan began his rise to fame in New York's Greenwich Village. This club is said to be one of his favorites.

7) Bass Player for Katy Perry-- The bass player accompanying Katy Perry on her last tour had an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Bob Dylan.

6) Selling candles in Woodstock, New York-- A friend of mine recently visited Woodstock and the salesperson at Candlestick, a shop in town, spoke in a nasal voice and would hardly answer her questions.

5) Rudi's Pizza delivery driver  (Hibbing, Minnesota)  -- Bob Dylan may have returned to his roots in the North Country. Reportedly he has rented a cheap flat and took on temporary employment as a driver to make his ruse totally foolproof.

4) Customer at Cafe Les Deux Magots (Paris, France)-- Dylan always had a fondness for strong espresso coffee and the writing of Ernest Hemingway. Is that him whiling away the hours in a beret and smoking with a cigarette holder? You cannot smoke in the USA anymore.

3) Willie Nelson's tour bus-- Dylan always had an interest in Austin, Texas and country singer/songwriter Willie Nelson. The bus is famous for providing unlimited supplies of pot. And Willie can keep a secret.

2) Performing in Las Vegas-- Dylan may have pulled an Andy Kaufman and adopted a total different performing persona. Kaufman posed as Tony Clifton, a crass comedian who in know way resembled the real Andy Kaufman, a sweet-natured guy. Bob Dylan may be posing as a mysterious, not-very-attractive magician. She has been appearing in several Vegas lounges-- including Sky Lounge, The Laundry Room, and Bond-- and looks exactly like Dylan in drag. The magic tricks are pretty lame.

1) Starbucks-- You ever notice how there is always some unshaved, grey-haired guy at Starbucks with his backpack. These guys will often pull off their shoes and put their dirty feet on the couches and just camp out all day. Dylan may be moving across the country going from one Starbucks to the next. Best disguise ever.
