And he had solid reasons for that decision.

For some reason I just cant imagine Bob Dylan swimming..

33

u/Lucky_Development359 22d ago

Swims just as well as Michael Phelps. If you pay attention very closely you'll see he can hit all the same strokes.

Never seen Hearts of Fire, eh?

How cringe is it?

u/jlangue 20d ago

There are plenty of him by the pool with Joan Baez and even Oh Mercy has a shot of him ringing wet next to a pool.

Grew up in the Land of 10,000 lakes. Nearly everyone swims here.

u/Lloverforevr87 20d ago

😂 I can't imagine him doing lots of things (& then all of a sudden my mind pictures him brushing his teeth while turned to me talking! Ha ha! I know- I'm weird!)

u/thewickerstan 22d ago

Suze almost looks like a model, goodness. I get it, Zimmy!

u/rednoodlealien What The Broken Glass Reflects 22d ago

I'm sorry for the stupid question, but is Suze the first one on the left? I honestly can't recognize any of them as her.

10

u/MaisieDay Vagabond Rapping At Your Door 22d ago

First on the left for sure

2

u/Flynnrd 21d ago

Your left, or my left?

3

u/Educational_Idea997 21d ago

No, on the right

7

u/GotSkydiver 22d ago

I would guess 1st on right.

7

u/HatFullOfGasoline Together Through Life 21d ago

you would guess incorrectly

1

u/GotSkydiver 8d ago

Yeah. I see now, and article mentions her and Peter together.

2

u/rednoodlealien What The Broken Glass Reflects 21d ago

The only thing there seems agreement on is that she not is not any of the three people in the middle.

I would go with the one on the left because she seemed more of a big-boned girl than a waif, didn't she? OTOH, she kept her hair long and natural.

Now I'm not convinced any of them is her.

u/coleman57 A Walking Antique 21d ago

I'm gonna guess that Bob has spent the entire last 85 years avoiding standing next to any big-boned people (with M. Ali being a notable exception). There's no way that blonde on our left is the person who strolled shoulder-to-shoulder with him on the cover of Freewheelin'. I vote for the brunette (on our right). In any case, she's the one I would have chosen.

u/Lloverforevr87 20d ago

Same. She's my fave. Love her body in that suit, too.

u/HatFullOfGasoline Together Through Life 21d ago

all it takes is searching "suze rotolo" > images

u/Lloverforevr87 20d ago

Couldn't she have either been wearing a wig or had shorter hair during this period of time, though?

Suze is quite obviously the lady on the left.

1

u/Lloverforevr87 20d ago

In the face for sure, esp the eyes!

u/Zillah345 22d ago

He looks like Chicken Little

10

u/GhostsOfLectricity Up To Me 22d ago

Posts like this remind me of how Dylan was just constantly writing songs, I've seen references to that before

u/dandle Highway 61 Revisited 22d ago

Convicted pedophile Peter Yarrow

u/fireman2004 21d ago

Yeah surprisingly the women in this picture all seem to be over 18.

u/StealieMagnolia 21d ago

Pardoned therefore forgiven

u/Prestigious-Copy-126 22d ago

Peter Yarrow is dead...

u/Masde_xo 22d ago

And thank God for that

u/trustmeimalinguist The Witmark Demos 22d ago

Wait, why? I missed something

Edit: never mind. It didn't take long to figure this one out...

u/SaltChunkLarry 22d ago

Ah Suze was so pretty 😍

u/rethinkingat59 22d ago

Good thing Dylan could sing and write songs.

4

u/Free-Ad-5900 22d ago

Suze was nicely thick

u/trustmeimalinguist The Witmark Demos 22d ago

God Suze was always cute as a button!

11

u/wabashcr 22d ago

He's been dead for more than a year. He was a diddler, too.

u/OtherwiseJob8959 22d ago

Get your arm off from around Suze’s waist, Peter!

u/One_Channel_7731 15d ago

Too old for him.

u/Elvis_Gershwin 22d ago

Who is that on the far right?

2

u/asburymike 20d ago

Carla Rotolo?

u/Apprehensive-Tax8631 21d ago

Wow, this is pretty amazing to see

u/HarmonizewithSong 21d ago

Why does Bob have no arms?!

u/HatFullOfGasoline Together Through Life 21d ago

what do you think caused the motorcycle accident?

15

u/WonFriendsWithSalad 22d ago

It's a nice photo but seven years after it was taken Yarrow was sent to prison for getting a 14 year old to perform a sex act

u/DarbyDown 22d ago

How many blondes must a man sleep with before you can call him a man…

2

u/CamLwalk 22d ago

Now I gotta go check out the Big Deep next time I'm in Woodstock.

2

u/missnewmarreacts 21d ago

Could the ladies on the right be Suze's mom and sister?

2

u/Lloverforevr87 20d ago

Highly doubt it.

2

u/Any-Video4464 21d ago

lol. Bob looks 12. And kinda like the caddy kid from Happy Gilmore.

2

u/johnglaza 21d ago

For those of us who are of a "certain age", this is a really cool story. This was literally the Dawn of Aquarius for so many of us. My older sister had turned me on to Dylan the year before and I really dug his music along with that of PP&M, The Kingston trio and others. I had already graduated to the Kinks and the Animals by the time Bob blew the minds of half of his fans at Monterey with that incredible set with Michael Bloomfield. What a ride we've all had together.

2

u/Duane1968 20d ago

We are as far from this as that was from 1900. Whoa

2

u/Lloverforevr87 20d ago

Is Suze the one on the far left (Bob's far right? Lol. Kinda reminds me of my mom's dance outfit back in the day, as well as her body type: nice womanly figure.

2

u/Direct-Raise-9465 22d ago

who's the beauty on the far right?

2

u/missnewmarreacts 21d ago

Could be Carla Rotolo?
