Dylan of The Day - Bob and a letter to Suze Rotolo

Don Hunstein Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo , Greenwich Village, New York City 1963


"Nothing much is happening here I guess.

Bob Shelton is waiting for Jean.

The dogs are waiting to go out.

The thieves are waiting for an old lady.

Little kids are waiting for school.

The cop is waiting to beat up on someone.

Them lousy bums are waiting for money.

Grove Street is waiting for Bedford Street.

The dirty are waiting to be cleaned.

Everybody is waiting for cooler weather.

And I am just waiting for you"

  • Bob Dylan, in a letter to Suze Rotolo


“Bob was charismatic: he was a beacon, a lighthouse… He was also a black hole. He required committed backup and protection I was unable to provide consistently, probably because I needed them myself.” 
Suze Rotolo
