Bob Dylan moved in to apartment 211 with his new wife Sara, produced his album Blonde on Blonde and had his first son, Jesse whilst there. Joni Mitchell wrote her song Chelsea Morning about the place, which in turn inspired that hip couple, the Clintons, to name their daughter Chelsea. Other musical residents included Jimi Hendrix, Leonard Cohen, Jefferson Airplane, Patti Smith, The Band, Iggy Pop, Frank Zappa and, of course, Sid and Nancy.
