Thread Name: Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan for Victoria's Secret
Bruce, all is not lost. You may yet find out Victoria's Secret, if my theory is correct. Have a read of my crazed ramblings suggesting that Victoria's Secret is the American equivalent of Joanna Southcott's Box. This sealed box of mystical secrets (which, despite appearing in a Monty Python sketch, really does exist and is taken seriously by some) is only allowed to be opened in the collective presence of 24 Anglican Bishops, in a typically tedious, tea-drinking British kind of way. Two or more centuries since the box was sealed, they haven't managed to get around to it yet. Now, with the appearance of Dylan, the conditions for revealing Victoria's Secret seem to be a lot more interesting. According to my warped "theory", it is only allowed to be revealed in the presence of 24 singer-songwriters, and dear old Dylan just happened to be the first. I reckon you are in with a very good chance of being in on the action, Bruce !
