Ram On

Photographer Linda Eastman first met Paul McCartney of the Beatles at the Bag O'Nails club in London, 1967. They met again in New York and London the next year and became inseparable. They married in 1969, and had their first child together, Mary, later that year. Paul also legally adopted Linda's then 6-year-old daughter, Heather. They also had two other kids, Stella (!) and James (I guess he would be the third). Paul wrote only a few songs about her with the Beatles: "Two of Us," and "I've Got A Feeling." After the Beatles broke up, though, he included her in all his musical efforts, and she sang and played keyboards with him both when he was solo and with the Wings. "Ram" was actually credited to Paul & Linda McCartney, and many of their songs are credited that way, too. Nearly all Paul's love songs were about Linda, most notably "Maybe I'm Amazed," and "My Love." Linda led Paul to vegetarianism, her favorite cause. Paul and Linda remained married until she passed away in 1998. I think they'd still be together, too, if she hadn't had cancer...

Something There Is About You

Bob Dylan met Sara Lownds (or Lowndes, depending on where you see her name) sometime in 1964, and told her he intended to marry her shortly after. They moved into Hotel Chelsea (in separate rooms) in New York together. They married secretly on November 22, 1965. The public and even most of their close friends didn't know of their marriage until the media reported on it. 

Sara inspired a LOT of Bob Dylan's songs, such as "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands," "Sara," the entire album "Blood on the Tracks," and some consider her to have inspired "Isis," "We Better Talk This Over," "Abandoned Love," "Down Along The Cove," "Wedding Song," "On A Night Like This," "Something There Is About You," "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," "To Be Alone With You," "If Not For You," "Desolation Row," "Where Are You Tonight? (Journey Through Dark Heat)," and "Love Minus Zero/No Limit."

Their marriage became strained in 1974 when Bob's frame of mind was drastically changed by his art teacher, Norman Raeban. They divorced finally in 1977, but later reconsidered marriage.

 

Yes, they're with Paul and Linda!
