Dylan claimed "Desolation Row" is a minstrel song inspired by white performers dressed in black face that he saw as a child. Some believe it was also inspired by Jack Kerouac's Desolation Angels and perhaps Steinbeck's Cannery Row. The characters in the song are accused of rape and were subsequently lynched. My Chemical Romance covered the song for The Watchmen soundtrack.
