Superb chillax16!! Those are very interesting possibilities. I see people think there has been too much reading in to this song (jassss) but I fully agree with sparklingclover: "Dylan is surely someone who understands words" He adds more than one meaning to so much of his work and the beauty of it is that it sounds so simple but there is a great deal of depth. I'm also certain that the discussion of several puzzling possibilities is part of what he often tried to cause through his songs. Even if the particular interpretations described were not the exact ones which Dylan was planning on, he says plenty while purposely leaves things vague enough for a song to mean two different things to 2 different people. He has an incredible way with language.
