When Bob Dylan writes a song or poem about a woman, he doesn’t take kindly to being jilted. In 1976’s “Sara,” for example, he begged his estranged wife Sara Lownds to come back to him by reminding her of all the time he spent “staying up for days in...

The lyrics are X-rated, vile, brilliant, violent and funny; the guitars are lacerating; the performance burns like a flamethrower. Nearly 30 years after it was written, no rock singer has come close to putting so much jealous rage and wounded poetry into six and a half minutes.

I can't help sharing an odd touring anecdote. In '99 and 2000 I was playing keyboards in Marianne Faithfull's band. There was a really fun and absolutely zany group of people involved with those tours. Never a dull moment.

For those youngsters who only know Marianne Faithfull as a matronly, debauched rock icon, here's a shocker - Marianne as a 60s pop star. I have never seen a more beautiful picture of her. How incredibly alluring - it gives me chills.
