When Bob Dylan seeks shelter from the storm, he knows what to do. He goes knock knock knocking on Vera Duckworth's door. The legend has revealed he likes to unwind by watching Coronation Street.
In 1966 he famously left his mark in Manchester when for the second half of his gig at the Free Trade Hall he put down his acoustic guitar and to the horror of some folks went electric. A heckler branded Dylan "Judas" for doing so. But he snarled back: “I don’t believe you. You’re a liar”, before telling his band to play even louder, and changing the course of rock history.
That incident was referred to in one episode of Corrie in 2019 when Ken Barlow, played by William Roache, was "identified" as the fan who heckled Dylan. Now the singer has told the The Wall Street Journal he watches the soap when he wants to feel "at home".
