Mass. pizza parlor stiffed by fake Dylan rep

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) - A man wearing a Bob Dylan backstage pass who ordered 178 pizzas from a Massachusetts pizza parlor has left the restaurant blowin' in the wind.

The man walked into Antonio's in the college town of Amherst early Saturday morning shortly after Dylan performed at the University of Massachusetts and ordered $3,900 worth of pies.

He said he would return in several hours and deliver them to Dylan's crew. But he never returned and the manager called police.

Restaurant employees stayed until 5:30 a.m. making the pizzas.

Antonio's owner Walter Pacheco tells The Daily Hampshire Gazette his workers had no reason to doubt the man worked with Dylan but "got taken."

1. Why didn't they have to pay when placing order?

I wouldn't publicize my idiocy if I had been "taken" like this.

2. Yep, that one jumped out at me too...

...hated the fact that they got fleeced, but couldn't understand why they'd take on an order that big without payment or, at minimum, a deposit. My guess would be that they were starstruck.

3. Never came back huh?

There goes one of my theories; that someone had a SERIOUS case of the munchies.
