This name thing - I've got to tell you this

Last year in Boston was the first time I saw this 'name calling' thing, where the spectators call out the name they see on your shirt. I found thta very amusing - once it was explained to me during the race (I asked a fellow runner because I couldn't understand why people were calling out the name of someone near us who looked anonymous enough to me).

Then I started hearing people calling out... -Bob Dylan, my man!

-Hey look, it’s Bob Dylan!

-Check it out, here comes Bob Dylan!

-Bob Dylan, you’re looking good!

This lasted for miles after miles... You'd have thought that people were actually believing the REAL Bob Dylan was running this thing, but it was a guy with a Bob Dylan touring shirt.

So I slowed down so that he may get next to me ... Following is the exchange we had:

-If you’re Bob Dylan, I gotta be Elvis!

-How does it feel?

-Like a complete unknown.

-Queen Mary, she’s my friend

-Yes, I believe I’ll go see her again!

-I used to care…

-But things have changed!

This was so funny! (BUt I guess you had to be there!)
