Dylan's lyrics affectionately ridicule a female "fashion victim" who wears a leopard skin pillbox hat. The pillbox hat was a popular, highly fashionable ladies' hat in the United States in the early-to-mid 1960s, and was most famously worn by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Dylan satirically crosses this accessory's high-fashion image with leopard-skin material, perceived as considerably more downmarket and vulgar. (Of course, genuine leopard skin was very upmarket, since it came from an endangered species. It was not yet illegal to trade in leopard-skin, but it was rare and valuable.) The song was also written and released long after pillbox hats had been at the height of fashion, something that was very apparent to listeners at the time.

It's a song about a hat, man.

    Too bad you're not a girl, Organichu. That would be perfect for you.

    I was never a fan of Bob Dylan. He's got one or two great songs, but besides that, he's pretty blah.

  • simonwolfsimonwolf i can feel a difference today, a differenceRegistered User regular
    My general opinion of Dylan is that he has some really solid albums, but he's gone on a massive decline in the past decade or two

    also that fuckin' moustache, jeeze

    No, my XBox isn't under warranty. It seems to work if I give it some cool down time, so I'll let it cool down over night.

    Also I figured out why Rock Paper Shotgun loads like a whale climbing into a dump truck. They use stupid social networking widget bullshit which take forever to load and there is a set of widgets for each article. AdBlock is not blocking them very well, either.

    God damn Brits.

    Get a small in-window A/C unit, point it directly at the air vents for your xbox, and never overheat again... maybe.

    At this point, it's probably going to fail.

    Mine's going to be failing soon, too. On one hand, I don't want to shell over the money for a new one. On the other hand, this is a good time because of holiday bundles.

    At this point I honestly have no idea if my 360 even still works.

    I'd try and find out, but I like the uncertainty.

    Burnishes my PC elitist cred, too.

    Clockwise: Film/TV, music, video games, dancing. Closer and closer to beachballness.

    probably better to keep thinking that way

    its okay, sometimes a really long profile isn't a good thing, I know for me it gives me more reasons to message someone and ask. "So, what exactly are your favorite movies?"

    By the way, being single is fun. Dating is interesting.

    And I "squee'd" a little on the inside when my crush drove me home from school today, granted he's like 3 years younger than me since I'm freakin' OLD, but it was a good feeling.

    Workshops (lessons) and dance venue covers.

    I should get around to making one of those OKC profiles

    It's just that, from quick glance at the available ladies on there, they seem to generally be terrible

    The funny part: this is one of the only sections I have filled out.

    It's the My Summary box. My life up to this point is kind of a big thing. I mean when I finished Potty Training.. that was a big deal.

    Ducks don't have teeth. I suspect this is a liberal smear campaign to make conservatives look like gap-toothed lunatics.

    It's extremely unlikely. A lot of the weird shit that researchers find as far as security is concerned require such exact conditions that there's little chance of it being used in the real world. I still love hearing about what they find is possible with our technology, though.

    Also, batman arkham city really starts with a bang. And you get to punch someone you didn't even know you wanted to punch.

    The fatter Batman gets, the more inches he gets on his waistline, the more pouches he can attach to his utility belt.
