CommentAn intriguing moment in August 1993 when icon Bob Dylan took a trip to London’s Crouch End to visit his friend and fellow
musician Dave Stewart (Eurythmics). Unfortunately, due to Bob’s unique mind, the exact address of Stewart’s residence
(his studio in Crouch End) wasn’t reached due to the number of similar sounding streets in the area, such as Crouch Hill,
Crouch End Hill and Crouch Hill Road.
Fortunately, for Bob (and us), the address the folk singer chose to visit did actually have a Dave living there—and so goes this
urban myth.
For fact fans, there is corroborating evidence that Dylan had indeed visited Crouch Hill and that he and Stewart were acquaintances.
That much is true, but whether or not a taxi dropped him off at a house with a plumber called Dave is up for hearty debate.
