almost onion-worthy

their title "like a complete unknown" cannot be improved upon.

(heavily edited)
Long Branch, NJ police were called after Bob Dylan was apparently acting suspiciously wandering around the streets.

In 1965 Dylan wrote "Like A Rolling Stone", with its line: 'How does it feel to be on your own, a complete unknown?'

A 22-year-old female officer demanded to see his identification papers. He assumed she would at least recognise the name if not the face... Then she radioed her older colleagues at the police station to ask if anyone knew who Bob Dylan was.

'The poor woman has taken rather a lot of abuse from us. I offered to bring in some of my Dylan albums. Unfortunately, she doesn't know what vinyl is either.'
