Title: Sara

Does anyone know much about this woman? I've never seen her on TV. I've never read any interviews. A different temperment than Yoko Ono?

she's always been mysterious to me....
but dylan is fairly autobiographical and through the music, sara seems complex..
i always wondered who the main insiration was for all those great songs like 'just like a woman', 'positively 4th street' etc...
was it suzy rotello, joan baez, sara?
i always saw sara as the main theme in his music, but im not a dylan expert.

you mentioned yoko,
i always believed that the most difficult, often alienating, compicated and impossible women inspire the best work in artists.

Depends on the song. "Visions of Johanna" is most likely Joan Baez. But I think Bob only stated his inspiration explicitly once: "Staying up for days in the Chelsea Hotel/Writing 'Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands' for you/Sara, oh Sara"

'Just Like a woman' was inspired by Edie Sedgewick.

'Positively 4th Street' was an unfond farewell to the backstabbers on the Village folk scene.

Four of their own (Jesse, Jakob, Maria and Samuel) - plus Anna, Sara's daughter from a previous marriage.

To answer texile's previous question - yep, he's every bit as cryptic as Jagger. Maybe more.
