There are some things that just don't belong on Broadway. We can all agree that Bob Dylan's music is one of those things (even if the man himself enjoyed the show). Finally the powers that be have also realized this and have pulled the plug on The Times They Are A-Changin', after only a month on stage. Wonder what's next for Twyla Tharp?

According to the album, Paul's Boutique is in Brooklyn...but we all know this photo was taken in the Lower East Side. With a Paul's Boutique sign hanging up on the Lee's Sportswear storefront, the shot was taken at 99 Rivington Street, where Rivington and Ludlow intersect. Currently residing in this exact spot is a restaurant called Paul's Boutique, named in honor of the album. This shot looking down Rivington Street from the intersection of Ludlow......

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album cover features a photograph of a 21 year old Bob Dylan and his girlfriend at the time, Suze Rotolo (an artist who teaches at the Parsons School of Design). History will tell you Rotolo inspired the songs "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and "Boots of Spanish Leather." It will also tell you that Dylan wanted to (add a girl and) recreate this shot of James Dean. The photograph was taken......
