| JONES STREET. If you don't recognize Jones Street by its album cover, you can be forgiven. It was fully 40 years ago (as of 2003) that Bob Dylan was captured strolling down Jones toward 4th Street by photographer Don Hunstein, with then-girlfriend Suze Rotolo, for the cover shot of his 1963 LP The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. For a time Dylan lived on 4th Street, and his relationship with Rutolo, according to legend, inspired songs such as "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and "Boots of Spanish Leather." Freewheelin' introduced "Blowin' In The Wind", "Masters of War" and "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall." Dylan was 21 years old. If you look closely at the album cover, the cornice on the building next to the word "Dylan" on the LP cover can be made out in today's picture fairly easily; the other buildings are a bit less recognizable since the fire escapes have been replaced since then. |
