Really weird. Stuff you wrote in 2007 suddenly re-surfaces to bite you on the leg! But I stick by what I wrote then.

This thread is a total waste of time, "Spanish Leather" means what it means. Dylan didn't steal it from anywhere, he recycled it from whatever was running around in his head at the time,

Which comes down to, it means what you, the listener, want it to mean. That's it and all there is.

Goodnight for another five years, academic wankers.
