"
Although Dylan was not a member of the circles to improve original 1950's, "Kerouac's The Subterraneans, a novel published in 1958 about the Beats, has been cited as a possible inspiration for the title of the song. Stretching further back, the title refers to the Underworld, a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, whose works were popular with beat writers such as Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. [Citation needed]

The song also shows some of the increasing conflicts between "(Workers 40 hours) in a straight line" or "place" and the new 1960 counterculture. The widespread use of recreational drugs, and the confusion surrounding the Vietnam War were beginning to take over the nation, and Dylan's lyrics were hyperkinetic dense with allusions to-the-minute-a major pop culture in Youth 1960. According to rock journalist Andy Gill, "an entire generation recognized the zeitgeist in the verbal whirlwind of 'Subterranean Homesick Blues. "
The song also refers to the struggles around the civil rights movement ("Better stay away from / to carry a fire hose "). (During the civil rights movement, peaceful demonstrators were beaten and sprayed with high pressure hoses fire). Despite the political nature of the lyrics, the song was to become the first Top 40 of Dylan in the United States.

Listed by Rolling Stone as the 332nd "best song of all time," "Subterranean Homesick Blues" has been widely influential, giving rise to iconic references artists and non artists alike. Most famously, the lyrics "do not need a weatherman to know which way the wind" was the inspiration for American group name Weathermen radical left, a trip to the Students for a Democratic Society. John Lennon was sent to find the song as "fascinating" I did not know how to be able to write a song that could "compete" with him.
