Sheila Says: New Dylan Museum

Bob Dylan may be from Minnesota, but a museum honoring the singer/songwriter is about to land in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Over 6,000 items will be on display, including his handwritten lyrics to “Tangled Up In Blue” and a wallet that contains Johnny Cash’s old address and phone number. Did Bodb want the museum in his hometown in Minnesota? He’s just glad the archives found a home in Oklahoma so they can include the works of Woody Guthrie and Native American Nations.

The whole thing was captured by a camera on the dashboard of the patrol car. It didn’t take long for the deputy to figure out both men had been drinking. The guy who fell into the creek wasn’t seriously hurt. Both got a ride to the Lincoln County Tennessee jail.
