    She wrote a great book about her early years and her relationship with Bob.

    Doesn't happen too often. A new Dylan song. Very sweet, a statue for his muse, erected in 1983. RIP, Suze,

    Wow! I’ve never heard this song before. Bob’s voice was never a chart topper to me but he’s written a whole lot of beautiful lyrics and music and this is a lovely song. I’m close to 80 and the words are definitely meaningful.👍👍🇨🇦

      I agree Bob never had a great voice. But I grew to love it. I will be 71 in February. I have been listening to him since 1963. Freewheelin was the first album I ever bought. I still listen to Dylan often.

    Suzi rotolo was involved with core. Social injustices and somewhat of an idealist. An artist.❤ the day she passed away came over the car radio and just cried but I didn't know her personally. Stranger things have happened.

    Thanks. Never heard the song before. But it brings back memories probably common to lots of us in the 60s who came after Bob Dylan. Reminds me of my first real relationship. And the words ring true. I'm glad he had the experience before the world went crazy.

      Oh, you could write a whole book about this relationship and went wrong and why and why it didn't have to. Indeed, Ballad in Plain E is really about how nobody helped, when they should have. It all is so silly and sad, looking back.

      If our universal understanding had only existed back then...parents can be, and so often are, wrong!
      If you want the life want, it's okay to tell your folks that your life is longer under their control.

    • @LucyLennon909

      ​​​@@nhscolsohmy comment that Suze's family didn't accept Dylan is based on rumors. With further research Father was a union organizer and mother was a columnist for an American newspaper published by the Italian communist party.
      To me their beliefs could go either way. Liberal or conservative
      For all anyone knows they could have gotten along.

    For Beautiful Graceful Sacred Wise Integral Quantum Thinker Soulful Singer Brother of Christ God of Earth Bob Dylan
    For Twin Soul Now One Of Bob Dylan Beautiful Wise Good Sacred Graceful Inspirational Holy Goddess Suze Rotolo
    I found my soul
    she resides blissfully
    in a Celtic Goddess
    of love wisdom and grace
    with Erin's face
    I'm in danger
    because I'm a sinner
    and she may feel a stranger
    in her sacred domain
    I pray to all the Saints and Angels
    she may remove the stain
    so I pray today and every day
    to forever here with her remain
    to assure me that I'm clean and good
    that I may serve her faithfully forever
    as she implied I could
    that we could win this war together
    you'd be a beacon for my soul
    didn't you say you would
    She's a hard sell
    she 'knows' the business of the heart
    my worthiness she can tell
    she can pull my mind apart
    like no other
    she 'knows' my soul intimately
    every sin every mistake
    she may be my mother
    will you make love
    do we have this love to make
    she 'knows' how easily
    I break and how I cry for her
    where will I go
    what shall I do without her
    serve the poor
    I 'hear' someone say
    is it her
    is that Her command
    uphold the weak she adds
    for the higher good make a stand
    I 'hear' someone whispering
    is it You my soul my love
    or am I an imposter
    Leonard said: "I didn't come here
    to fool you"
    just love and light to foster
    You said dreams can lie
    but my darling this pig can fly
    like a cardinal eagle or dove
    inspired by your love
    I dream of you in the sky
    with diamonds
    mined from the deepest deep
    I dream of you all day
    and all night in my sleep
    I wander the roads
    and get lost
    as I add up the cost
    of being unworthy or wrong
    I've sought you
    sung many a song
    my whole old long life
    you promised a whole new me
    am I your wife
    you said you were a man
    and a King
    you said I could be a woman
    didn't you
    did you accept my ring
    or am I wrong again
    how can I 'know'
    anything without you
    is this dream true
    you live on a dream you said
    well then it came from you
    didn't it
    so tell me is it true
    will you leave me here now
    on this plank
    over the abyss
    ridiculed
    without a Valentine
    I'll never do that to you
    I'll weather the storms of time
    for you my eternal love
    my Goddess King of Orion
    who descended from above
    my everything
    are you the Walrus or glass onion
    I could be anything
    but only You can know better
    at the very least please sing
    may I serve as your Irish Setter
    or your Scottish Terrier
    I don't eat much
    and I'll come when you call
    I love you that's all
    I'll yield to your will I'll heel
    upon command
    upon command I'll sit
    for your love
    I'll make a stand
    as a woman
    or a man
