Stuff
I listened to one of my favorite songs from a few years ago that I hadn't listened to for awhile again, which is either a great feeling as you recall how great it is, or a terrible feeling as it lets you down. In this case, it was the former. Queen Jane Approximately is the song. There's a lot of great things about this song, including the piano on it, but my favorite verse is
When all of your advisors heave their plastic
At your feet to convince you of your pain
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Mainly it's the choice of the word "plastic" and the phrase "convince you of your pain". It's another example of Dylan using very few words to say a whole lot. "Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic" is actually a little redundant with the first two lines but since it fits in so well with them as well as with the rhythm and rhyme it's hard to complain about it.
From Wikipedia: "Lady Jane Grey (ca. September-October, 1537 - February 12, 1554), a great-grand-daughter of Henry VII of England, reigned as uncrowned queen regnant of the Kingdom of England for nine days in 1553."
