The Late Suze Rotola

From the UNCUT Magazine Newsletter:

"The sad news reached us at the Uncut office this morning of the passing of Suze Rotolo, aged only 67. She was Bob Dylan's first great love, the inspiration for many of his most tender and enduring songs (“Don't Think Twice, It's Alright”, “One Too Many Mornings”) and, of course, his co-star on the sleeve of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan".

Update from MOJO Magazine

Dylan's muse

I enjoyed reading her memoir, "A Freewheelin' Time" (Aurum Press, 2008).

Girl from the North Country

She had this to say about Dylan's songs (p. 290):

"The songs are translations of moods and sensations he experienced. They are fictions that allude to those experiences. Bob's songs were for himself and to himself in another person's voice as much as they were in his own".
