Memoirs of a Girl From the East Country (O.K., Queens) “The alliance between Suze and me didn’t turn out exactly to be a holiday in the woods,” Mr. Dylan wryly concludes in his 2004 memoir, “Chronicles, Volume One.” (Mr. Dylan declined to be interviewed for this article.) But he describes their first meeting in more glowing terms: “She was the most erotic thing I’d ever seen. She was fair skinned and golden haired, full-blood Italian. The air was suddenly filled with banana leaves.” He often wrote about their love affair, most prominently in “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” “Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” “Boots of Spanish Leather” and “One Too Many Mornings,” and most caustically in “Ballad in Plain D,” in which he castigates her mother and older sister, who did not approve of him. In his liner notes to “The Times They Are A-Changin’ ” (1964), Mr. Dylan wrote, “ah but Sue/she knows me well/perhaps too well/an is above all/the true fortune teller of my soul.”

I know I’m a bit late to the game, but damn, Into the Wild was wonderful. Now I’m dying to read the book again.

Colin Meloy & Laura Gibson - Cupid

I caught Colin Meloy at the Fox in Boulder, Colorado last Saturday. Performing Sam Cooke’s “Cupid” with Laura Gibson was certainly a highlight of the show.
