Farewell Suze Rotolo, muse of Bob Dylan in 1962 and co-star of the 'Freewheelin'' album cover. The picture of the artist and his inspiration, walking down Jones Street in the snow is one of the definitive rock and roll images - enough to warrant a peculiar flashback scene in Vanilla Sky. The fact that Suze - raised as a proper New York bohemian - broke the guy's heart and inspired the likes of 'Boots Of Spanish Leather' is also a decent legacy. Only yesterday I was blogging about Dylan's 'Chronicles' and the section when he meets Suze is justifiably filled with awe, affection and a major coup de foudre. Sigh.
