Re: Meaning of Winterlude in Dylan Song

Hello,

thanks for your hints. In another forum somebody helped me to find this:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Morning#Songs>
  a humorous love song directed at a girl named Winterlude

<http://www.robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=Bob+Dylan>
New Morning [Columbia, 1970]
In case you were wondering how definitive that self-****trait
was, here comes its mirror image four months later. Call it
love on the rebound. This time he's writing the pop (and folk)
genre experiments himself, and thus saying more about true
romance than is the pop (or folk) norm. Two side-closing
throw-ins--a sillyditty about a gal named "Winterlude" and
the scatting beatnik send-up "If Dogs Run Free"--almost steal
the show.

Which of course doesn't contradict to the assumption that it is a play 
with the words winter & interlude.
