No, Really: Bob Dylan Tweets About Interaction with Upstate NY Hockey Player

I must admit, I did not know that musician Bob Dylan had an account on X. I was also unaware that Dylan had been somewhat active on the platform recently, posting four times since September 25th.

I learned all of this when I read this post, shared by Dylan on X on Wednesday:

You read that correctly, folks: legendary folk musician Bob Dylan met a member of the Buffalo Sabres in an elevator, and decided to post about the encounter on X after it happened.

This was an interaction I truly never expected to see happen, let alone read about on social media.

Naturally, I was curious about how this happened, so I did some digging. The 83-year old Dylan his Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour on October 4th in Prague. He performed three shows at the Prague-based O2 Universum, from October 4th through the 6th.

At the same time, the Buffalo Sabres were beginning their 2024-25 campaign with games on October 4th and 5th against the New Jersey Devils in Prague as part of the NHL Global Series.

The games were played at O2 Arena, which is directly connected to the O2 Universum where Dylan played his shows.

We do not know which Sabres' player was involved in the interaction with Dylan in the elevator. I would venture a guess that Dylan may not remember, either.

Regardless of who it was, this is still an incredibly funny encounter, and Dylan's post on X made it all the more fascinating.
