Hi,
could someone explain me the exact meaning of this expression?:
'Someone with a CHOPPED TOPPED HEAD and a power in the community'
These words were written by the singer, Bob Dylan. I found them at -

In the classic photos, Fats Domino’s head is a perfect cube, thanks in part to his trademark flattop haircut. This, unique to Domino in the 1950s, became fashionable among young black males in the US and UK 30 years later. (In Chronicles Volume One, Dylan, describing how he envisages some future rap star rising to artistic greatness, writes that it will be someone ‘with a chopped topped head’.)
Another name for a flattop haircut is a crew-cut. It's where a man's hair is cut (ie chopped) very short and flat on top. It was (maybe still 'is') characteristic of Americans.
Best wishes, Clive
