My first post at Mudcat -- if'n I screw it up, you'll be the first to know.

There's an interview in the current No Depression wherein John Cohen talks about those VERY early photos of Dylan on Cohen's Greenwich Village rooftop trying to look like Woody, Chaplin, and James Dean -- and to which Dylan refers in his liner notes for Highway 61 ("John, your rooftop has been demolished"). [deep breath] Well, turns out that rooftop was indeed demolished, and more than just metaphorically -- it was torn down to make room for the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

. . . HUH! Isn't that interesting? And useless? I think the photo on the cover of that Roscoe Holcomb collection was taken in the same apartment.
