"Staying up for nights in the Chelsea Hotel writing Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands for you."
Bob Dylan, "Sara" (his wife)
"I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were famous, your heart was a legend
You told me again you preferred handsome men
But for me you would make an exception "
Leonard Cohen regarding Janis Joplin - “Chelsea Hotel No. 2,”
- slibhb 6y agoSome other songs from Blonde on Blonde (which is my favorite Dylan album) were written in the Chelsea Hotel too. From Visions of Johanna: Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
- zabzonk 6y agoVisions of Johanna is my all-time favourite Dylan song. I've listened to it so many times, not least because in the winter of 1972 in a very cold flat in Edinburgh the _only_ album we had to listen to, for reasons, mostly poverty, was Blonde on Blonde. Still, if you are going to be stuck with one album, that's the one to be stuck with.
