Offing the Offspring | |
| Highway 61 Revisited (Music) / int_27ab0123 | comment |
Offing the Offspring: God commands Abraham to do this in the title track. While The Bible includes a happy ending where God stays Abraham's hand and ends the practice of human sacrifice among the Chosen, Dylan skips over that part, switching scenes for each verse. | |

The Team Wannabe | |
| Highway 61 Revisited (Music) / int_3f3498f1 | comment |
The Team Wannabe: Al Kooper's organ riff on "Like a Rolling Stone" is one of the most recognisable in music history, and it was a complete accident. Kooper had been invited to the session as a guitarist, but there were already several guitarists, and while he could play piano, well-regarded session pianist Frank Owensnote Who later became David Letterman's bandleader on his short-lived 1980 morning talk show had that slot filled. Then Kooper saw that the organ chair was empty, sat down even though he'd never played the instrument before, and started fooling about because nobody explicitly told him not to. Dylan liked it and kept it. | |

Reference Overdosed | |
| Highway 61 Revisited (Music) / int_8e1aef2d | comment |
Reference Overdosed: Napoléon Bonaparte in "Like a Rolling Stone". Paul Revere, Belle Starr, Jezebel, Jack the Ripper, John the Baptist, the Philistine King, Galileo Galilei, Delilah, Cecil B. DeMille, Ma Rainey, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Gypsy Davy (a song by Woody Guthrie) in "Tombstone Blues". Bo Diddley in "From a Buick 6". F. Scott Fitzgerald in "Ballad of a Thin Man". "Desolation Row," the place and the song, is inhabited with a variety of public domain characters that seem to symbolize separate aspects of humanity. The characters include Cinderella, Bette Davis, Romeo, Cain and Abel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Ophelia, Noah, Albert Einstein, Robin Hood, The Phantom of the Opera, Giacomo Casanova, the RMS Titanic, Ezra Pound, and T. S. Eliot. Tom Thumb is mentioned in the title of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues". Dylan's liner notes for the album reference artist Paul Sargent, Quasimodo (also referenced in "Desolation Row"), Friedrich Nietzsche, George Gershwin's "Summertime", Antonio Vivaldi, and musician and photographer John Cohen, who took some of the best-known images of Dylan after his arrival in New York City. Victory by Joseph Conrad, an author that Dylan is on-record as admiring, includes a villain named Mr. Jones, who has a slave named Pedro (described at several points as "faithful"), and this might be the source of Mr. Jones in "Ballad of a Thin Man" and "his faithful slave Pedro" in "Tombstone Blues". | |

Princess in Rags: "Like a Rolling Stone" is about a Miss Lonely, a wealthy woman who once was rich enough to hang out with diplomats and never worry about to future, only to be forced to hunt for meals and pawn off her diamond ring for money. Dylan's narrator sings happily about all this, finding the sudden humility of Miss Lonely a good thing. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Highway 61 Revisited (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In The Beatles' song "Yer Blues" on The White Album (1968), John Lennon sings "I feel so suicidal/just like Dylan's 'Mr. Jones'", which is a reference to the title character in "Ballad of a Thin Man". The image of Dylan on the album cover was also used as a cut-out on the upper far right of The Beatles' cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. See here for a comparison. A stanza of "Highway 61 Revisited" is narrated in The Hunted (2003) by Johnny Cash at the beginning and at the end of the movie. The title From a Buick 8 was an obvious tip-of-the-hat by Stephen King to "From a Buick 6". The Rolling Stones covered "Like a Rolling Stone", as was to be expected one day, on their live album Stripped from 1995. Martin Scorsese named his 2005 documentary about Dylan: No Direction Home, after the phrase from "Like a Rolling Stone". Steely Dan's début album is named after a line from "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry". Talking Heads revisited the Mr. Jones character from "Ballad of a Thin Man" with their own song, aptly titled "Mr. Jones", in 1988. | |

Cover Version | |
| Highway 61 Revisited (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: PJ Harvey covered "Highway 61 Revisited" on her album Rid of Me from 1993. It's a fairly safe bet that every single song on the album has dozens, if not hundreds, of cover versions. | |

Album Title Drop: Also provides one for an album by an entirely different artist: Steely Dan's Can't Buy a Thrill, taken from a line in "It Takes a Lot To Laugh, It Takes a Train To Cry". | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Highway 61 Revisited (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: "Like a Rolling Stone" is sung in an energetic tone that contrasts with the lyrics about scrounging for your next meal, living on the streets without knowing how to survive, and having everything stolen from you. The dissonance seems to make the same points the lyrics do, that all these seemingly terrible things are for the better. | |

Public Execution | |
| Highway 61 Revisited (Music) / int_dc0ca62a | comment |
Public Execution: The first line of "Desolation Row" establishes that public hangings are so essential to the Row that they sell postcards of them, implying quite a bit of demand. | |

Riches to Rags: "Like a Rolling Stone": in the first verse the woman who once "dressed so fine" and "threw the bums a dime" is now "scrounging for your next meal". | |
