bob dylan just walking around a shore town minding his own business, why would a police officer ask for id? and why would he have to prove who he was? are we still free to walk the streets of americai without being hassled by somebody?

their not familiar with!!
Good night Anderson and Erica. Great show tonight! Have a great weekend everyone.
Thank you & good night Anderson, Erica & Team 360.
Good night fellow bloggers, terrific conversation as always.
Anderson, you made playing with Nancy's children look easy! I know you said you were "sweating", but it certainly did not look that way, you looked cool as a cucumber.
@ Anderson
Glad you two made your peace ... the fish solved!
Anderson, I loved your interview with Nancy Grace! I know that some people don’t like her, but I kind of like her blunt, no nonsense style.
Good night everyone, and have a wonderful weekend!
Anderson you are good with people and with little people!
Those were nice fish, Anderson 😉

Hardworker,needs to rest,or are you going to your next tripp?
Funny caption on Beat360!
Congratulations!
How can anyone not know who Bob Dylan is?
Damon's a hoot! Great interview Mr. Weaver.
And great show Anderson & crew – nice close to the week.
The video of the mother being tasered is really upsetting. No law suit will ever removed the memory of that incident from her childrens' minds! (or hers either).
There is simply something wrong with police training when an officer decides to tazer a lady who is moving non-agressively. Inappropriate use of force.
Great show tonight, the dogs and the interview with the young reporter was priceless. That little boy has more personality than anyone I have seen in a long time.
Damon is quite a bright little kid; and as long as he has mangoes and fries he is a happy one too. I also loved him in the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer today. Good night all and have a nice weekend.
wonderful program tonight, guys. all the best.
I just want to know when Anderson is available for babysitting for me 😉
I loved Tom Foreman's interview. That boy was so funny and intelligent for his age. It would be so nice if twenty or so years down the line he becomes President and we can all look back and remember him on CNN.
I'm looking forward to watching that clip of Anderson again, he was handling it well and then all of a sudden the baby just started crying. The look on your face Anderson was absolutely priceless 🙂
Thanks, Anderson for being real. I appreciate that. Hopefully people will get real as well and stop allowing themselves to be caught up in all negative manipulation of these important issues. Instead of becoming part of the mob, work at helping to peacefully find a real solution. Health care is so needed......do they realize how ridiculous there actions look to the rest of the world and how everyone realizes who is behind all the negativity.
Thanks for listening
the little boy said he will raise taxes to help the poor,is that socialism? No this is compassion,the heart of a child,the heart of the lord.
@ Anderson
That scene was worth the nigh .. you scared the boy! lol...
Don't get upset ... children are unpredictable, especially in this age! lol...
happened to catch Larry King earlier – very nice, the piece with Nancy Grace. lots of interesting questions and answers.
must say, loved the fish you made for the kids. that was great.
Does Michael Vick deserve the chance to play football again? Sure, he paid his dues. Should any major league football team sign him? Not just no, but heck NO!
I'd have a flying fit if the Denver Broncos had signed him. Not sure how the Philadelphia fans feel.
that was such a cute interview.... "would you like to be my homeboy?" ... LOL
