Here's a funny story. Shades of Say Anything only with way more planning:
On this day, September 14, 2011, it was reported that a Swedish Bob Dylan fan had been arrested for singing Bob Dylan songs outside his ex-girlfriend's house. The love-sick man had also cobbled together a group of five other men to serve as vocal accompaniment for the late-night live performance, each of who donned hoodies with their hoods up. But soon after the man began to serenade his ex, who had previously taken out a restraining order against him, she called the police, leaving the 50-year-old guitarist blowin' in the wind. “I had the idea that I'd play a Bob Dylan song for her,” the man told police. There was no word on which song, unfortunately.
Any guesses on what he went with? So many options:
All I Ever Loved is You
Baby I'm in the Mood For You
Country Pie
Dirty Lie
Emotionally Yours
Field Mouse From Nebraska
Guess I'm Doin' Fine
I Must Love You Too Much
I'm a Fool For You
Jelly Bean
What Will You Do When Jesus Comes?
Vomit Express
Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You
Standing in the Doorway
Nowhere to Go
Neighborhood Bully
Nasty Young Man
Life is Hard
I'm Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
Lunatic Princess
I'd have probably gone with this one:
