The ambiguous relationship
between Dylan's songs, statements, and rumors of lifestyle provide grist
for this concocted story by a London tabloid paper.

SUPERSTAR folk singer
Bob Dylan is heading for London next month - and a reunion with an exotic
actress who claims she was once his sex-slave. Flamboyant
Gypsy Fire has told how she danced half-naked for religious-freak Dylan,
shared kinky sex sessions - and massaged his feet because she thought he
was Christ. "He might be into religion but he spends more time talking
about sex than God," said buxom Gypsy, 40, a well-known Australian actress.
She revealed how she became obsessed with Dylan, 45, in the States and
how he finally invited her on stage during a concert in Sydney.
"But his minders
brutally dragged me away by my breasts," she said. "Later, at his hotel,
I rushed up and complained that I'd been bruised. He asked to see my breasts.
"In a couple of days I was staying in a room next to his. I became his
sex-slave. It was really weird. In one erotic scene I danced for him nearly
naked." Gypsy, added: "I went without sex for five weeks so I'd be spiritually
and physically prepared for our encounter.
Kinky
"Dylan turned out
to be a wonderful lover. He was very kinky. I did everything he wanted,
massaging his feet because I thought he was Jesus Christ himself." Gypsy
added that she and Dylan are constantly in touch on the phone and hope
to meet in London. But the multi-millionaire superstar, who comes to Britain
next month to make a £14 million film about a rock singer wouldn't
talk about Gypsy. In Denver, Colorado, where he is on tour, his spokesman
Guy McKane
said: "We have nothing to say about this dame."

GYPSY FIRE..."I WAS DYLAN'S SEX SLAVE!"
Whilst
browsing through a NSW law journal the other day (as you do), I came
across
a bizarre court case from 1987 involving one 'Gypsy Fire'. Most
of
it's full of legal mumbo jumbo, but the beginning sounds interesting,
and
involves our favourite 'rock guru'.
GYPSY FIRE v TRUTH NEWSPAPERS
P/L
"On 8 August 1986, the plaintiff
brought proceedings in the name of
"Gypsy Fire" (her real name
seems to be Emelia Caruana) claiming damages
from the defendent for the
publication by it of an article in the
"Weekend Truth" newspaper
in July of that year. The article is entitled:
"AUSSIE ACTRESS TELLS...I WAS DYLAN'S SEX SLAVE!...GYPSY
FIRE...starved herself of sex."
The contents of the article
itself are not of such enduring value that I
need to describe them here.
Amongst the imputations pleaded by the
plaintiff is that she engaged
in obscene and indecent behavior (with
'rock guru' Bob Dylan) and
another that she engaged in blasphemous
conduct (massaging his feet
because she thought that he was Jesus Christ).
On the previous day (August
7), the plaintiff had cause to be issued by
the Local Court summonses
against the defendant and its publisher
alleging that, by the publication
of that article, they had committed the
offenses of obscene libel,
blasphemous libel and criminal defamation"....
NSWLR, 1987 Vol 9.
The rest of the case argues
about defamation issues and the like and
Dylan's name is not mentioned
again. A few questions come to mind:
1/ Does anyone have any
information on the above Gypsy Fire?
2/ Is she the one referred
to in 'Went to see the gypsy? ;)
3/ Does anyone have the
above mentioned article, or remember reading it?

Andrew Muir : She has appeared
in many tabloid papers around the world telling her various
Dylan tales
> 2/
Is she the one referred to in 'Went to see the gypsy? ;)
Andrew Muir : No
> 3/
Does anyone have the above mentioned article, or remember reading it?
Andrew Muir : Yes. It was
reprinted in Homer, the slut....many versions of it (the article)
are around - Mark Carter
probably has a whole file of them.
