Her private life, centered on a Bowery loft with the sculptor Peter Boynton and a cat named Sam, is something she guards fiercely. Her black hair, which once extended to her waist, has been cut short for quite some time, and her dark eyes draw you to her with their intensity. She dresses simply -- T shirts and sneakers whenever possible -- is self-conscious about her youthful appearance (she turned 30 in October, and had looked forward...

"I never dreamed that I'd be working with septic tanks, wiring, let alone moving houses," she says, "but when people are poor and depressed, you want to do anything you can to uplift...
...their feet, and Dylan growled his way through "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" in a winning manner. After a few opening songs in which he looked restrained, the energy level never flagged, and, as always, Dylan looked gratifyingly scruffy with his black leather and tangled hair. He spent a little too long proving that he could be uncompromising, but the talent was there, and it's the mark of a truly great performer that he can spend the night ignoring his audience and still have them adore...
