![]() ![]() The basic joke is the idea of the turbulent years of The '60s being used as fodder for bland nostalgic merchandising (which was hilarious in 1972, but became "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny 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 Word Salad Lyrics. The 1972 National Lampoon album Radio Dinner has a sketch called "Those Fabulous Sixties", a parody commercial in which Dylan (voiced by Christopher Guest) smarmily pitches a compilation album of Protest Song and Psychedelic Rock hits.Bill Hicks was a fan of Dylan and would open his act by singing "Subterranean Homesick Blues.".Also from Stone Ocean, one of the 14 phrases used to fuse the Green Baby with Enrico Pucci's Whitesnake Stand happens to be "Desolation Row".Minor antagonist Viviano Westwood has a Stand called Planet Waves, after Bob Dylan's album of the same name.The Stand of Rohan Kishibe from Diamond is Unbreakable, Heaven's Door, is named after Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" from Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. ![]() JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has referenced Bob Dylan a couple of times.A list of references, shout-outs, parodies, homages, winks, nods to Bob Dylan. ![]()
