Bob Dylan Confesses She Was the Love of His Life

I think the love of his life was his wife Sarah.

Who knows the truth???????

Suze said he “was a lying shit of a guy with women.” He had a strange woman sitting at the breakfast table with their children when Sara came downstairs one morning.

I still adore him and listen to his music every day. He gave us so incredibly much. Who are we to judge him?

Quite a few “facts” here are wrong. For example, Dylan did not start date Joan Baez in 1961. It was more like 1963/64.

The name of Joan’s song is wrong. Many of the photos don’t match who the video creator is discussing.

Now the song Diamonds and Rust makes more sense! I never cared for Dylan or his music!

“Suze” was pronounced “Suzie”. Not “Sooz”.

Dylan states that he went electric because he heard Eric Burdon singing House of the Rising Sun.
Why would you assume he 'went electric' while he was with another guitar-playing soloist (JB).
Speculation about Dylan's intentions is ridiculous. He was far too complex for such revisionism.

great rock song

I covered Boots of Spanish Leather in the Spring of 1963, shortly after he published it... but of course I'm not mentioned anywhere... lol.

sometimes i forget just how beautiful Joan Baez was back in the 60s

I always believe it was Bob Dylan and Bias that were always in love ❤

Dylan is a great songwriter, but he is NOT one of the greatest American singers of all time. Be serious.

I heard that he was married while dating Joan Baez, & he decided to do the right thing, & stay with his wife...huh?

The love of Dylan's life is music, the women were all just diversions that came second.

His song "This was my love" is pretty telling.

The world needs to get a grip that Dylan is the greatest songwriter of times 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🕶️🎶👍🎸😄

... ❤... SarrahX

Diamonds and Rust. Dude, do your homework.

Hes married to drugs

As it was said earlier. Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, Sara, Blood on the Tracks. We did not need this video to know the answer to the question. But a good job on the video none the less.

"...he proposed to Mavis Staples, but she turned him down."
Boy, thats a pretty superficial sentence to use, to dismiss what Dylan himself described as "true love".There arent a whole lot of women who Bob actually proposed to.
I wonder why the video wants to overlook Mavis, when she's a heck of a lot more famous - and interesting - than any of the others mentioned.

The desperate serenade in the studio in front of other people: that is a deeply personal moment, many would object to the presence of other people. It may have become a WTF moment for her.... and made her decide against.

of course. she was mother of his children.

Any Dylan fan could tell you that Sara inspired the greatest of his songs.

All those beautiful women and wealth and success, yet still restless…

Like so many have to regretfully say "Sorry Bob, you had your chance."

Dylan is what you call someone who is mentally challenged and fell between the cracks and was sneaky enough to hustle money when a weird weird little man

Joan Baez is possibly the most severe Narcissist in the history of popular music. She wanted to make Dylan into Jesus so she could be his Mary Magdalene. She wanted him to arrive, as "The Savior," at Woodstock and that's the reason the event occurred near Dylan's home, which was INSANE, and made Him decide not to go, when he was supposed to be the headlining Act. AND THEN there was Live Aid in 1985, where she played first, (to get rid of her!), and she sang "We Are The World," which was supposed to be the finale with all Artists on stage. THAT was the end of her, she went out as a TOTAL ASSHOLE, the same way she came in.

I thought he was going to say that it was Mavis Staples

He sounds like kind of a faithless jerk just going from woman to woman. Talents, accolades, prizes can't make up for not being willing to make a commitment. No wonder his wife sat a little unimpressed at a mere song performed in the presence of other people.

“I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach.
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always so close and still within reach.”.

Growing up I was more into the sound of the music than the words of the song… till I heard Dylan (and the Beatles). This whole album is wonderful and the song Sara paints a perfect picture in my mind.

I don't think he ever found love of his life.

My beautiful sister gave Dylan his first gig at the Gaslight He has never recognize her. She owned the Gaslight Café in MacDougal street in the west village that used to belong to John Mitchell, who had to leave town in a hurry.

Well Joan Baez may not have been the love of his life but she must have been his he blew ut Joan should have been his forever.

Falling in love is easy. Staying in love takes lots of work, working on yourself with forgiveness.

The words in his songs influenced me significantly in my life time though it would seem he wasn't influenced by his own philosophies.

Hey! What can I say? I've never thought of him as a great, or even, a good singer. He was a great song writer, though. From the sounds of this "clip" he couldn't keep it in his pants! Never thought of him as being "good looking" either, kissing him would be ish-ka-bibble!

You know He laughed all the way to the Bank on positively fourth street . A horrible song. It ranks up there as 1 of his best songs. Close to “ Just Like a Rolling Stone “

Robot voiced videos SUCK.

Zimmerman is now out of the closet and supports Israel, his homeland

I often wondered about whom Bob wrote "Idiot Wind."
That's one of the most brutal musical take-downs ever; way more harsh than the line from "Don't Think Twice, . . ." "You just sorta wasted my precious time."

I learned to play guitar from listening to Dylan. Even when banging on his dime-store guitar he was very good.

We all have a love of our lives ,be it a lost one 💔 or someone that got away , before we realise it

I met Bob Dylan while working night shift at a hotel in KCMO where he and his band stayed. As was the case most times famous people would wander down in the middle of the night when it was less busy. There was a piano in a lounge just off the main area near front desk. Several musicians including Jon Waite and the like, would play piano for 2 or 3 hours with no audience and no one really knowing who they were.
We knew they were there and while we weren't allowed to approach they, in Bob's case, he simply came down at 4am and struck up a conversation. Being night manager, I could move us to the back office. He was quite talkative and explained the stories behind several of his songs. He was just like you and me only he was very lonely it seemed. I could've listened to him for hours. I only had up until the next shift arrived. That was too soon at 7am.
He was a perfect gentleman, I will add. Thanks Bob. You signed every album I brought. They were my older boyfriends, and you were his favorite songwriter singer.

Dylan the jerk came to Austin Texas, played 2 songs, walked off the stage and never returned. We did not get our money back. I've never listened to him since. He's an asshole.

Such an incredible resemblance between a young Bob and his gorgeous son, Jacob!
