* CicadianRhythm: "Day of the Locusts" was written about Dylan's honorary degree from Princeton in 1970, which happened during one of the 17-year Brood X cicada invasion cycles on the US East Coast, so it's commonly thought that the song is actually about cicadas. With Dylan's 80th birthday happening in May 2021, just as cicadas once again invaded the East Coast three Brood X cycles later, the song gained renewed topicality.

* ShoutOut: "Day of the Locusts" obviously alludes to ''Literature/TheDayOfTheLocust'', though the connection between a cynical novel about UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood and a song about Dylan getting an honorary degree from Princeton is still up for debate.[[note]]One possible angle is that it's meant to be a SarcasticTitle. The Nathanael West novel is about an Ivy League graduate who seemingly takes a step down in prestige to work in the entertainment industry, while Dylan had the opposite experience as an entertainer who got unexpectedly lauded by an Ivy League school.[[/note]]

Widely viewed as his attempt to WinBackTheCrowd after the poor reception of ''Music/SelfPortrait'', the album's genesis was a bit more complicated than that. The bulk of it was actually recorded before ''Music/SelfPortrait'' was released. Dylan had brought Al Kooper, who famously played keyboards on ''Music/Highway61Revisited'' and ''Music/BlondeOnBlonde'', aboard as a musical director, but Dylan seemed unsure which direction he wanted to go on the album.
