FOB sucks and this was a bad publicity stunt. THat's true. But this should also outrage every New Yorker. You don't need a permit to play un-amped instuments in Washington Square Park.

I doubt it was wentz playing at 14th street. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that listens to joy division.

I don't care what fall out boy does. But when they start stealing from maurice sendak, start covering radiohead and now this bob dylan fiasco. It really gets my goat! They are probably the shittiest band in music next to the jonas brothers but the audacity to think that they can even cover the holiness of radiohead. I mean that's like pauly shore thinking he's anthony hopkins.

i have to agree with Politburo on this one, although i think it's ok to share it with his fans on his blog, it's not like he sent out a press release.

ugh

The cops never should've let August Rush play his guitar...talk about a double standard.

the NYPD almost saved the day for once. Unfortunately, the show went on.

Why didn't he play that impromptu crap in his child's namesake, The Bronx? Pussy.

permit to play an instrument? All those acoustic "I need attention" playing guitar emo-tards all have proper permits?

I can't believe you've got me defending this guy, but you're all using the classic double standard. If this was some unknown band, you'd be going on about how the police stopped the event, and how it was so cool, etc.. Also note that this guy wasn't claiming to be Dylan and didn't appear to reference Dylan in any way when promoting the event. That was one blogger's interpretation. I would agree that this was a publicity stunt, though. You don't keep things secret by posting them on your blog....

I just happened to be around. No really. I'm at Teen Square all the time, but I'm not one of the regular bums. Anyway, I thought everyone was cheering for the big black guy. A rapper? MegaBiggie Big? Turns out it was a midget they cheering for. And really it wasn't any scuffle. The police and park greenies were there before he showed up. And maybe 150 teenies. Weak, real weak.

When I think about the modern day Bob Dylan, I immediately think of that short guy with the crooked haircut from Fall Out Boy. He's so real.

Pete Wentz = The most overrated celebrity of 2008. Known only for knocking up Ashlee with his inferior seed. Congratulations.
