Cyndi Lauper for Rolling Stone, May 24th, 1984. “People are really somethin.’ They’re walking books, all of them. Sometimes you’ll only meet them once, but you’ll never forget them. So you try to enjoy them. That’s why, even if you’re in the ladies’ room, you should always talk to the woman next to you. Even if you’re in the stall, you can say, uh, ‘Hey! No toilet paper! I guess it’s drip-dry tonight!” Revisit the cover story, written by Kurt Loder, at the link in bio.⠀ Photo: Richard Avedon #RSWomensHistory

Bob Dylan released his self-titled debut on this day in 1962. He moved from Minnesota to New York in January 1961, with the goal of earning a reputation in the folk-music scene. Right away, he started making a name for himself. Dylan befriended his idol Woody Guthrie; by April, he was opening for blues legend John Lee Hooker; by September, he was the subject of a rapturous New York Times review. In November, he was going into the studio to make his first album for Columbia Records. All of that, though, didn’t translate to having an audience: When Dylan played Carnegie Chapter Hall a few weeks before he recorded 'Bob Dylan,' there were only 53 attendees. At the time, Dylan was still discovering his creative voice, as he devoured folk and blues records, grabbed tunes from his contemporaries and worked up his stage persona. 'Bob Dylan' is clearly the work of a young artist who’s got astonishing gifts, even if he hasn’t quite figured out what he wants to do with them. Tap the link in bio to read more.
