* The 1972 Film/NationalLampoon album ''Radio Dinner'' has a sketch called "Those Fabulous Sixties", a parody commercial in which Dylan (voiced by Creator/ChristopherGuest) smarmily pitches a compilation album of ProtestSong and PsychedelicRock hits. The basic joke is the idea of the turbulent years of TheSixties being used as fodder for bland nostalgic merchandising (which was hilarious in 1972, but became SeinfeldIsUnfunny over the next few decades as Baby Boomer nostalgia, including cheesy TV commercials for albums like ''Freedom Rock'', was a major bit of American pop culture), but it's also a veiled swipe at Dylan, implying that he was a has-been, and it opens with Dylan singing a song with loopy WordSaladLyrics.
