Stevie was big into fur coats in those days, I've seen pics of her wearing them and in one interview she bragged about how fabulous it was to walk into a 'fur salon' and come out with three coats. Maybe the title of SOB is a reference to Sable, which is a type of fur bearing critter that they make coats from. And blonde, her hair.

Someone commented that they thought Sable was black, maybe it can be dyed for coats or something because as I recall from my art-school days my sable paintbrushes were an auburn/brown color.

And ditto to everyone here who said the "ahhah hah haaaa huh-haaaa" parts were a little excessive.

A sable is a type of fur yes, but a sable is also a black or dark piece of clothing worn in mourning.... like mourning the death of someone.

I've heard a sable referred to as that black kind of netting that Stevie sometimes wears over her hats, covering her face.....

So Sable on Blonde would be that black netting on top of her blonde hair....


.... i think that is the imagery for the song title ....

Wow, I never even thought of that. That's really cool.
