Surprise Visitor
What would you do if your favourite star or hero walked through your front door? Might be surreal experience for many.

John Kiernan, a Winnipeg man had such an experience recently. He was shocked out of his shoes the other day when two rugged, rather unsavory looking men jumped out of a taxi and walked up to his wife who was at the front of the yard while Kiernan was inside looking on. Kiernan was suspicious because one of the men wore a hoodie. Perhaps he thought these men looked like trouble waiting to happen.

Things are not always what they seem. Kiernan, although kind of leery, was impressed by the men's expensive cowboy boots and quality leather pants.

Kiernan was not surprised that a total stranger would walk up to him and want to look inside his home. He lives in the home of the famous Neil Young and devotees of this Winnipeg legendary musician often trek in every now and then to see their idol's abode. But this visitor was no ordinary devotee. He was Bob Dylan, who was in town to do a concert at the MTS Centre accompanied by his manager.

Kiernan thought the man had a familiar look. Then it dawned on him. He invited the men into his Grosvenor Avenue (Winnipeg) house. Dylan asked some thoughtful questions about Neil Young. Kiernan said Dylan wanted to see Young's bedroom and the view outside Young's window. Kiernan was thrilled but never let on that he recognized who Dylan was. He was too shocked and excited. He tried to signal his wife that it was Dylan but she did not catch on. strange enough the taxi driver was also a musician from India and while Dylan was inside showing the house to Dylan, the taxi driver was playing some of his songs for Kiernan's partner. The taxi driver did not know that he was taxing one of the greatest musicians of all times. What a day, what coincidence.
