    He does, but no.

    No - entirely to do with singing, and where the singing is done...

    Not as far as I'm aware - I'm thinking of another country, noted for oddball stuff.

    It's not so much the song as how it is sung...

    There is nowhere more oddball than N.Korea, but instead of being jailed you might be fed to dogs. <yikes>

    Your second post just about refutes your first. ;)

    Close enough to the answer I was looking for, which was - singing out of tune in public in North Carolina is against the law & is punishable by jail sentence. Apologies to Bob Dylan, but I have always thought that 'singing' doesn't describe what he does...

    OK, here is an easier one.

    What links Healey, Pryor Reid, Sedgewick, Roberts and Wilson?

    Anything to do with Breweries? Healey & Sedgwick are both breweries of yore in Watford.

    Correct. Benskins also took over Wells, but then were taken over themselves. In 1972 the last pint was brewed by them in Watford.
