I blame the whole thing on pantyhose. Talk about Iron Maidens.

@Hez: Yeah, hon, but back in the day, just doing something funky with a common nickname was subversive. Really. The world was a cold place in the old days.

@Word salad: You're right, black tights were right there in the zeitgeist. Hettie Jones, in her memoir about beat days, has a bit about black tights, and how Diana Trilling bitched about beat women wearing them. Don't miss her book, by the way. I worked with her briefly years ago at NYU and she's one of my personal goddesses.

I look exactly like Bob Dylan circa this picture. At least three or four times a week someone stops me and says, "You know who you look like..."

It's always Bob Dylan. Except once it was Vincent Gallo and I almost sent the man to the hospital.

Don't quote me, but I think this one's pronounced like "Susie."

Can I just rant here about how much I hate names like "Suze"? Like are we supposed to pronounce it Suzie, like the financialesbian, or is it just Sooze like snooze? We don't pronounce Rude or Jude as Rudy or Judy... this all seems very shifty to me. Dirty hippies, indeed.

@Hez: Ha!@

href="#c5393261">SarahHeartburn: Good one! My response was to be humorous, yet not being historically accurate on underpinnings was surely an unforgiveable faux pas. I plead guilty on jumping too far into time, but refer to the 'Dirty Hippies' reference above the title that spurred my response and find it in your heart to cut me some slack. However, you offend me by omitting leotards!

@yourfriendandneighbor: Oh good - I was wondering if she was the gf in that album cover. I'm glad you answered it for me.

Now that I've done a Google image search to refresh my memory of that cover, I see a foreshadowing of Bob's entry into the Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians club. And if he's not there, maybe he should be? For the mom jeans alone.

@Word salad: Ah, but this was pre-hippie times. I remember as a tiny tot that even beat chicks wore stockings sometimes (that means garters, honey.)The no-undie regime started around 67.

@Word salad:
Didn't you know? We're all 40-something divorced attorneys from Seattle now! We all live in a big dorm, actually. Conbon has way too many posters of the Gilmore Girls in his room and Richard has a pet ferret named Tinz that wears only designer t-shirts. I love our crazy family. I wish Smails would learn to put the seat down, though. Sigh.

in dylan's auto-bio his memories of nyc 1961 were some of the most fascinating, especially contrasted to the artist-unfriendly manhattan of 2008. it sounds like her book will cover similar ground & thus hers is definitely of interest.

I met Suze Rotolo at a Jim Marshall book party at the Morrison Hotel Gallery in SoHo. (Jim Marshall--famous rock photog took the cover photo for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan which features Bob and Suze walking down an alley in what is now called NoLita.) I was taking a picture of her and Jim and they asked me to get in it with them and all the press photographers starting flashing bulbs at us. It was the happiest rock n roll geek moment of my life. She is the sweetest. Jim liked being surrounded by girls.

There were no hippies in the early sixties; they were bohemians...they washed and often wore underwear.

Anyway it's getting dead common, and my mother always warned me against the perils of being dead common and it's cheap trappings. *sniff*

In the Hajdu biography of Bob Dylan she came off as a saint. To me, that album cover of them on the snowy street with the Volkswagen bus in the background is iconic.

I look forward to reading this.
