Freewheelin' Muse
Suze Rotolo inspired some of Bob Dylan's finest songs
By Bruce Ward, Ottawa Citizen
can't say I knew what a muse was when The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan came out in 1963. I was 13, so I did know about girlfriends -in theory, anyway -and it was plain that the woman pictured on Dylan's second album was his sweetheart.
On the album cover, she and Dylan are walking arm-in-arm down the middle of a slushy street in Greenwich Village. She is smiling, her head pressed against Dylan's shoulder.

Thom Yorke Releases Two New Singles
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke premiered two new singles, "Ego" and "Mirror," on March 15. The debuts came on U.K. radio between sessions by Four Tet and producer Floating Points. The two songs are Yorke's first new releases since Radiohead made their new album 'The King Of Limbs' available to download last month. The tracks are available on vinyl only.
The new songs are set to be released on 12-inch vinyl through Four Tet's record label, Text Records. The 12" double A-side single will contain only "Ego" and "Mirror."

what a beautifully written article, well worth reading:
The Record Collector And His Infinite Collection
Roselle Chen Senior Entertainment Editor
The Record Collector (Roselle Chen)Rows of records with album covers yellowed with age are neatly stacked on pine hand-carved shelving. Yards of 33rpm long-playing records line the 3,400-square-foot store from floor to ceiling. Inky black vinyl devoid of scratches, dust and orange price stickers (that forever leave their sticky residue) stretch from the front of the store well into back corners, hidden from customers.
In rooms layered upon rooms, there are old Victorian gramophones, reel to reels, 45’s, 78’s, cylinders and speakers from the 1950s. Sanders (Sandy) Chase gives tours of his store to people who pass a sort of veneration test. If they love music the way that he does, they get to see what’s more than just a rare and vintage vinyl store holding half a million records. Not only does Chase run a unique store, but he also believes in playing the records on analog equipment only.
“The Record Collector,” the words displayed in white letters on a green awning, sits on the corner of Melrose Ave. near Fairfax. The store was established in 1974 with Sandy’s personal collection of 10,000 LP’s of mostly classical music. He used his earnings from his success as a violinist to open what is now LA’s oldest record store.

and in music history for the day:
"Our Song" was released by Tom and Jerry in 1958. Later they used their real names, which were Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
Bob Dylan released his self-titled debut album in 1962.
In 1965, Tailor And Cutter magazine ran an article asking The Rolling Stones to start wearing ties. The current fashion did not include wearing ties with shirts and many tie-makers were facing financial disaster. Mick Jagger said of the appeal, “The trouble with a tie is that it could dangle in the soup. It is also something extra to which a fan can hang when you are trying to get in and out of a theatre.”
In 1974, Jefferson Airplane changed their name to Jefferson Starship. The new line-up includes Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, drummer Johnny Barbata, David Freiberg, Peter Kaukonen, Cragi Chaquico and Papa John Creach.
The third album from KISS, 'Dressed to Kill,' was released in 1975.
In 1976, former Free guitarist, 26 year old Paul Kossoff died of heart failure while on a flight across the US. He had been troubled with heart disease most of his life. Free is most often remembered for their hit, "All Right Now". Lead singer Paul Rodgers went on to form Bad Company with Free drummer Simon Kirke, Boz Burrell (from King Crimson) and Mick Ralphs (of Mott the Hoople).
In 1982 - Randy Rhoads died at the age of 25 in a plane crash. The plane was buzzing Ozzy Osbourne's tour bus when it crashed. The pilot and another female passenger were also killed.
In 1996, the second volume of The Beatles Anthology was released. The album featured “Real Love,” the second track to be released where the surviving members overdubbed onto an old piano demo recording by John Lennon. The song, first recorded by Lennon in 1977 on a domestic tape recorder at home, originated as part of an unfinished stage play that he and Yoko One were working on at the time entitled “The Ballad Of John And Yoko.”
Birthday wishes to Zach Lind of Jimmy Eat World (1976) and Paul Atkinson from The Zombies (1946), among others.
