...your love slave, and nobody else should either. It's a rancor most people have felt after an affair goes sour, but was rarely set to music. Dylan started doing it, and kept doing it. In the liner notes for the three-disc set Biograph, he told Cameron Crowe that the 1966 song "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine" was "Probably written after some disappointing relationship, where, you know, I was lucky to have escaped without a broken nose."

I didn't really take a hand in this because my enthusiasm for making records might not be what it was 20 years ago, I don't know...
...five when her father died; she revered his memory and refashioned it in dozens of movies about kids grieving for their sainted dead dads. To earn money Mary, Jack and Lottie went onstage. Soon they were in New York City, where, at 17, Mary strode into Griffith's Biograph studio and got a film...
