If your ex-girlfriend has a restraining order against you, it’s probably a good idea to show up at her house in the middle of the night trying serenade your way back into her heart, right? Wrong! A 50-year-old Swedish man learned this lesson the hard way. The man stood outside his ex-girlfriend’s balcony with a guitar and tried to win her back by playing a Bob Dylan song. Hur romantisk! The restraining order kind of puts a damper on things when you think about it, but he really put a lot of thought into his performance. The man brought along five other men, all wearing dark hoodies with the hoods up, to serve as vocal accompaniments.
Understandably, the woman perceived the outdoor concert as threatening and called the police soon after it began. The ex-boyfriend jumped into the bushes when the cops showed up. Surprisingly, this maneuver didn’t keep him from being caught. “I had the idea that I’d play a Bob Dylan song for her. I thought I was doing something nice,” he told the police during his interrogation. No word on which Bob Dylan song he was playing, but if I had to guess, I’d go with “Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window” or “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You.”
