THROW YOUR PANTIES OVERBOARD - BOB DYLAN live track


Here's "High Water," as recorded live on tour by Bob this summer. Some of the growling lyrics:
"I got a cravin' love for blazing speed
Got a hopped up Mustang Ford
Jump into the wagon, love, throw your panties overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind
I'm no pig without a wig
I hope you treat me kind..."
The always contradictory and fascinating Bob once performed "Love Sick" on a TV commercial to sell Victoria's Secret panties.
In this song, he's saying "throw your panties overboard." Maybe so that she'll have to go to Victoria's Secret the next day to buy more! Who knows what his deal with VS could be.
And why, come to think of it, did he chose "Love Sick" (ie, "I'm sick of love") as the tune to use for a turn-on commercial?
Oh, you can spend endless hours trying to figure out Dylan, if you're willin'.
Like, why boast to a woman that you can write poems that make a strong man lose his mind?
Like, doesn't "overboard" generally involve being on a boat, not a Ford Mustang? Or is he saying the water's so friggin' high, his car has become a boat? If you really are expectin' answers, then you're also expectin' rain.

Although Preston would retain the league championship the following season, the most successful 19th century team were in fact Aston Villa, who by the turn of the century had helped themselves to 5 titles.

Inspired by how fashionable the game was becoming, motivated by the marketing opportunities football now presented, and financed by Sky TV’s desire to sell its new satellite dishes, a fresh competition was to come into being that would turn the Football League into a second class citizen. The Premier League was coming and it was to be “A Whole New Ball Game”… [url=http://www.taobet.com]online bet[/url] Over the following several years the competition expanded and became less and less associated with the trade fairs. However, it wasn’t until the 1971/72 season that the competition was renamed the UEFA Cup.

This event, known as the Heysel Stadium Disaster, was described by the UEFA Chief Executive as the organization’s “darkest hour.” Most of the casualties were supporters of the Italian club, and responsibility for the disaster was placed at the feet of the Liverpool fans, who caused the disaster by rushing the Italian fans and forcing them en masse into the faulty wall.

The inaugural season took place from August 1992 through May 1993 and was won by Manchester United, who would go on to dominate the Premiership, with a current total of ten championships. In fact, during its history, the league has only been won by three other teams. Arsenal places second with three championships, Chelsea with two, and Blackburn Rovers with one win. Those first three teams so dominate the league, that only eight other teams have even finished in second or third, with United never finishing lower than third place.
