Her face has begun to look ugly.

There was nothing passive about the images “supermodel Kate Moss snorting a fat line of cocaine”. It is not a new image: the rebel woman baring her teeth, snake-haired and wild She is uncontrollable She is predatory She is, frankly, not very ladylike at all. It is of course what makes her the world’s greatest photographee: she allows us to project. We cast an image of ourselves in Rimmel, or Chanel or H&M, and her face reflects it back But now there is a vulpine glint in her deep grey eyes. He has this mysterious quality, like the man in the long black coat from his song. When he starts to sing it’s as if he has just staggered out of the desert.

I could go on about ‘His Bobness’ for ages.”Polly Paulusma, supported Bob Dylan on tour”When I was asked to play with him on his tour last summer, obviously I was over the moon He has been a hero of mine since I was a child. If you want to know what Dylan is really like, that may well be your best opportunity.’He’s such a conjuror of words and ideas’KT Tunstall, Mercury Prize nominee”He is an integral part of folk music’s soul. The quintessential troubadour and poet; his albums are a constant reminder of why music is important to me.”David Gray, platinum-selling singer and songwriter”I remember hearing ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ in the car when I was 12 He’s such a conjurer of words and ideas and very humorous. Then, in his 2001 biography Down the Highway, Howard Sounes revealed that in the 1980s Dylan had a had a second marriage, to a backing singer called Carolyn Dennis, with whom he had a daughter That marriage also ended in divorce, in 1992. To the outside world’s knowledge, there have been no marriages since.Dylan is now a grandfather (all the children from his first marriage have had children) who has survived a serious heart scare and probably ought to be living quietly in one of the several properties he owns across the US.New albums keep coming – those of 1997 (Time Out of Mind) and 2001 (Love and Theft) are among his most acclaimed. Last year he produced Chronicles, a volume of memoirs (now out in paperback) that showed his mastery of prose and became a surprise bestseller, although reading it you would hardly know that he’d had wives and children.And he just just keeps touring. He played all over the United States in the spring and summer.

Next month he arrives in Europe, with six weeks and 31 dates ahead of him, including 11 in the UK and Ireland. Around this time the urge to communicate directly with an audience reasserted itself and he began touring again, taking up for a number of years with one of his band members, Clydie King.There were other serious relationships – with Carol Childs, an A&R executive at Geffen Records, and with an actress, Sally Kirkland. But Benfica’s long absence from the Champions’ League proper tells a tale. Last season’s Portuguese title was their first for 11 years.Man to watch: Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United).Wednesday: Group GLiverpool v ChelseaHaving complained about Anderlecht just sitting back at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea should have a different set of problems this time; not least making themselves heard. A winning start for each of these sides means a draw here would be acceptable. But watch too for the left-winger Ryan Babel, already capped by Holland at the age of 18 – half that of Dennis Bergkamp, who is likely to be missing, as are Robin van Persie, Thierry Henry and Gilberto Silva.Man to watch: Wesley Sneijder (Ajax).Tuesday: Group DManchester United v BenficaCristiano Ronaldo will relish the challenge against his old Lisbon adversaries, and Wayne Rooney’s suspension may offer Ryan Giggs the chance to play a latter-day George Best as the Sixties memories flood back. “You have to say Chelsea are favourites for everything at the moment because of the way the club have leaped forward with the top players and the best manager in world football.”OPERATION EUROPE: BRITISH CLUBS IN THE CHAMPIONS’ LEAGUETuesday: Group BAjax v ArsenalWhen squeezing out Arsenal in the second group stage three seasons ago, Ajax gave a Champions’ League debut to a young midfielder called Wesley Sneijder, now their dominant figure.

But at the moment the best they can hope for is third or fourth.”When Spackman moved from Stamford Bridge to Anfield in February 1987, it was unquestionably a step up; 15 months later he had won the championship and Chelsea were relegated “Now, the roles have been a bit reversed,” he observes. The yardstick is still winning your own domestic league, as I’m sure everyone at Liverpool would say, so they’re striving to be more consistent over a season and challenge for the Premiership. Rafa [Benitez] is still trying to get a better balance and it’s probably going to take a few seasons.”They won the Champions’ League against all the odds, when, like Porto the year before, they maybe weren’t the best team in the competition but raised their game. Obviously, holding on to Steven Gerrard for the next few years was a major thing for them Then you need better quality to improve the squad. “For Liverpool it comes down to finance, trying to get in better players than you’ve already got. When you’ve got players who can come off the bench and improve the team, that’s a great weapon to have, and I don’t think there are many teams in the world who can do that.”Not Liverpool, yet. The beauty is he can play anywhere across midfield, get forward and score goals, or play in that Claude Makelele role just in front of the back four.
