This is a daily reminder public service announcement from Eric and Dylan… … 

It’s hard to say what Dylan would even want having been in prison for a very long time. It’s a hard lifestyle. The thought of him aging and ending up marrying some groupie just because they’ve stuck by him for years but then, never getting to actually be with her physically is as sad as him living out his days alone.

Marriage in prison is not what he longed for and it is so limited and a forced union of circumstances not natural love.  I don’t know,.. Honestly, any way I look at it, it saddens me.

Journal quotes or any quote?

They didn’t hold or attend a funeral for their son but they probably did quietly collect his remains. But it’s difficult to say when it comes to the Harris family since they sort of washed their hands of their boy. I’d like to think they have his urn in their home. All we can do is speculate.

No doubt he and Eric would’ve been granted interviews years by various tv and magazine media years later (yes, years later) but whether Dylan would feel comfortable enough to grant them an interview is another matter.  It would depend on their level of maturity, whether Dylan had become less shy and more self confident while in prison and having a desire to speak candidly as to why he did it.   Of course, that’s assuming Dylan would’ve made it long enough in prison and hadn’t found a way to end his life.

Dylan’s adopted grandfather, Milton Rice, was verified of Russian descent at a Jewish orphanage by his own mother (Dylan’s great grandmother by blood relation) who was poor and had to give her son up. This means that Sue and Dylan’s heritage is still of Russian-Jewish origins even though they’re not direct descendants of the Yassenoff [Source] Russian-Jewish family line.

Dylan’s great grandfather, Leo, married a Christian woman named Betty, and their adopted son, Milton, also married a Christian woman, Charlotte. Milton and Charlotte are Sue’s parents and Dylan’s grandparents.  

According to their traditions, the exact rule of being considered “Jewish” is passed through the female/mother line. So, technically speaking, Sue, could therefore not be considered halachically (according to Jewish religious laws derived from the Written and Oral Torah ) “Jewish” since her mother (and also grandmother) was not Jewish.[Source] However, if you don’t go by the exact letter of their Orthodox law and just by the blood lineage, Sue is half Jewish (descending from her father and grandfather’s side)  Also, Sue was raised in a mix faith household; she decided to align herself as Jewish more so than Christian like her mother. She considers Dylan to be part Jewish – technically speaking, he’d be a quarter Jewish. Obviously, she had told him that this is what his family roots were because Dylan hemmed and hawed relayed “well only like one fourth” to Eric on the Basement Tapes. Sue also instilled both Jewish and Christian traditions and holidays in her household. 

At the end of the day though, Dylan is American. So, nit picking over whether he’s part this or that is only in reference to his family blood lineage. He was born and raised in the US just as his parents and grandparents were before him. No matter what technical percentage you’d subscribe to: his family roots are (still) Russian-Jew on his mother’s side and German on his dad’s. 

Inquiring (and nosy) minds want to know, hm?     Irretrievably so..though I prefer to say it was just misplaced. 😏

Here’s an approximation of the song playlist of what was most likely played at the CHS Senior Prom including a link to the song that Devon and Dylan slow danced to.
