RE: Dylan by Scorcese on PBS ... PART TWO IS TUESDAY!!!!

["Gart, Mitchell" <MGart>]

I really loved part 1 last night too.  My favorite part was finally
hearing Suze Rotolo talking.  She was Dylan's girlfriend back in 
the early days and is the girl on the cover of the "Freewheelin" 
Dylan album.  I've read a lot about them over the years and it was
great to finally hear her talking about those times.
