   before Dylan are not worth listening to. Which reminds me, I've never heard   
   the early, pre Dylan Hawks."

   Suze was still so close in 1965-66 [...] Martin Schaefer Surprising that Dylan   
   sent for her to visit his recording session for Desolation Row... while   
   pregnant Sara seems to    
   sit at home most of the time. The myth I grew up with was Suze was pretty much   
   gone after the events of Ballad In Plain D [...] Jane E. Walker Heylin quotes   
   Dylan, second hand from another person, where his reasoning for marrying Sara   
   looked awful cold.    
   Something like he wanted someone to "be there when I get home and give me what   
   I need when I need it". I kept reading fast because I'm not sure I can   
   properly deal with what it seems to say about where Dylan's heart and head was   
   at in 1965-66 at the    
   moment. I'm having enough trouble exorcising the phantoms of my own youth."

   Hence, the "double life"...?
