A Pop Cultural Passing


I know that eyes will roll and people will say, "he's doing obituaries again", but I couldn't resist this one.

The PG reports today the death of Suze Rotolo at the age of 68. You may not know the name, but there is a real good chance if you are of a certain age that you have seen, and may even own, a copy of her picture. Ms. Rotolo was the one time girl friend of a very young Bob Dylan and that is her pictured on the album cover - dare I say an "iconic" album cover - of Dylan's breakthrough album, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan." This is the album that featured Dylan classics Blowin' in the Wind, Don't Think Twice, It's All Right, and A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall.

The Dylan-Rotolo relationship lasted about four years, and if nothing else, it sure produced a neat picture.
