This is most likely about deceased heiress/debutant/Warhol Superstar Edie Sedgwick. The lines "You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat/ Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat/ Ain't it hard when you discover that/ He really wasn't where it's at/ After he took from you everything he could steal." refer to Andy Warhol rather pointedly.
I've heard that the Dylan songs Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat and Just Like a Woman were also Edie-inspired, but I doubt it.
Thank you dewdrop that's exactly who this song was intended for...I LOVE you! Like a rolling stone is so obviously about Edie that its hard to miss...unless you don't know about Andy Warhol and Edie.Have you seen the movie 'Factory Girl'? I loved the part where the guy playing Bob Dylan told Edie "your friend's as empty as his cans of soup". I can just imagine Bob really telling her that. Dylan is the BEST!...And you are too Dewdrop.

Yes. I really think he was referring to Andy Worhal in the Chrome Horse and Diplomat part. Not only because this story is very much like Edie's but also because he didnt have a liking for Worhal. Worhal apparently video-taped Dylan when he was picking up Edie and in return. Dylan stole one of his paintings and used it as a dart board!

I don't think it was about Edie. It was recorded in 1965, when she was still the talk of the town, and before she was banished from the Warhol entourage.

There's a great book, simply titled "Edie", that should be on everyone's reading list.

Edie also came from a very RICH RICH family.
