Marianne Faithfull on Bob Dylan, 2024:
"This is how I remember him [Dylan] - Phil Spector shades and an aureole of hair! Back then Dylan was the hippest person on earth. In my book I called him “the jangling Rimbaud of rock” and I still think that fits. We worshipped him and a part of me still does. I first met him at the Savoy, I was so shy I found a corner and tried to disappear but there I was in the holy of holies! You can glimpse me there in ‘Don’t Look Back’ (D.A. Pennebaker’s film of Dylan’s English Tour). I’ve sung Bob’s songs all my life, I did ‘Blowin In The Wind’ on my first tour and ‘It’s All Over Now Baby Blue’ on my last.
