The tower symbol I believe is the great eye of humanity, it is built by all the men who have seen furthest before. The princes keeping the view to me are the rockstars, the scientists, the leaders, the gladiators. Not simply the victors (business men drink my wine, don't know what it's worth), but whomever sees farthest. The ones who look upon that which only they can see from their height.
The women coming seems self explanatory. Woman seek the men on top. Men at the top can have women coming and going. Nuff said.
The barefoot servants one is not clear to me. They could be simple tools employed by the princes. The guys who run out to get drugs for them. Or it could mean they keep sights too, but are not rewarded for their endeavor, hence being barefoot.
The wildcat growling suggests they might not make it. Nature may get them before they arrive.

Do these interpretations match yours? What do you think?

The lines change between the Dylan and the Hendrix version:
None of them along the line
know what any of it is worth
becomes:
(None on the level of the mind
Nobody up at his word)

Personally I prefer the Hendrix line, seems more on the head to me.

Dylan once said "That song doesn't belong to me anymore".
What do you think he means by that? Did Hendrix create something new? Did amending a line make it his? Did his guitar playing make it his? Or maybe Dylan simply means he isn't the person who wrote the song anymore.

And last question: Has anyone heard Dylan's new song "Murder Most Foul"? Dylan fans must listen. Warning, it will make you sad.
