@farmerman,
Oh HELL NO! Bob Dylan is NOT on the 'down low'!
(I'll make the kind assumption that you don't know what 'on the down low' means - it's a term used in the black community where masculine homosexuality is so frowned upon that any black man who is gay has to go about it 'on the down low'. It's such a well known cultural phenomenom that there was a Law and Order episode about it - actually a pretty good one with the guy who used to play a paramedic on ER playing the gay cop who was on 'the down low' who infected his wife with HIV.)
Not that there would be anything wrong with Dylan being gay - but he most definitely is NOT! He'd be out is he was gay - that's just the sort of guy he is.
*this is the only way ever I'd be on this thead - I posted and then I thought - 'What thread did I even post that to....?'
No, Bob Dylan is NOT on the down low.
