More please!
Bob Dylan is now on Twitter. I wonder if I'll understand his tweets, cuz I sure can't decipher what he's saying when he sings.

Yes but will anyone understand his tweets? RT @BobDylanTweets: Joining Twitter today. First time.

Ha! Some snark-wondered if the account really is Bob Dylan’s:

If @Bobdylantweets is real, it may be the first time I'll be able to understand what he's saying.

I don't think that's the real bob dylan because I can understand his tweets

Win!
And guess what: Everybody really must get trolled! Bob Dylan has a verified account and it is not @BobDylanTweets:

The @bobdylantweets account is most likely fake. Dylan already has a verified account @bobdylan, though it rarely tweets.

We will wait for the blue “Verified” check mark. In the meantime, the hashtag is still a ton of fun. So there’s that?
