Powell Loses Out to Dylan

Somehow, a married dad morphs into Bob Dylan's Thin Man. No matter where you go, "you know something is happening, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?"

The latest evidence that a dad's sex consumption, for example, has become something sad for other people to consider comes from the Philippines, where the soon-to-be launched, no frontal-nudity Playboy will be marketed as a "dad's" (not lad's) mag. Playboy's Philippines' editor, father-of-four Beting Laygo Dolor, wants something he can show his mother — dads will be attracted by the articles ... and some semi-nude women.

It's Dylan's:

You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, "Who is that man?"

And your payoff, maybe, comes after your dead when your son hires a stripper to perform at your funeral.

Dylan's resume includes six children from two marriages (and, given the various confusions in his life maybe some others), including Jesse Byron , Anna Lea, Samuel Isaac Abraham, Jakob Luke, (step-daughter) Maria Lownds Dylan, and, from his second marriage, Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan.

Fathers may imagine themselves the William Powell Thin Man (although Powell is not actually Dashiell Hammett's "Thin Man")



but the facts are kids turn you into Dylan's instead.
