Rick Danko, former Band member, died on December 10th. His obituary appeared in the December 12, 1999, Sunday New York Times:
Rick Danko, 56, a Groundbreaker With the Band, Dies
Rick Danko, a singer and bass player in the Band, revered as one of the most important rock acts of the 1960's and 70's for its work with Bob Dylan and its first albums as a group, died in his sleep on Friday at his home in Marbletown, N.Y. He was 56.
The December 15th, 1999 New York Times featured a photo of "Bob Dylan, singer/songwriter,
2/10/65" on page E10. The photo is from the new book "Avedon The Sixties: The Decade That Changed History; Photographs by Richard Avedon, Interviews by Doon Arbus".
For more information on this book, see the August 1999 Stories In The Press.
The December 16th--23rd Rolling Stone includes two short articles about Dylan in the "Behind the Scenes: 1967-1999" feature. On page 117 is a description of the meeting of Dylan and Patti Smith at the Bitter End in 1975. It is accompanied by a photograph of the two stars. On page 135 is a short article about Dylan's 1975 tour, also accompanied by a photograph.
If you run to the news-stand, you might be able to pick up this double issue. Look for it under the stack of less-interesting December 30th Rolling Stone "Party 2000" issues.
