Bruce Langhorne, the great Greenwich Village folk guitarist, may well have been an inspiration for the song by way of the giant Turkish tambourine-like frame drum he was often known to play in the time leading up to the song's composition.
There are many other theories about the meaning of the song. One interpretation is that the song allusively recounts Dylan's early experiences with LSD, and this is supported by the prominent use of the word "trip" in the first line of the second verse.
Dylan himself claims that the song was inspired by the image of a session musician shaking a tambourine and partly by a trip he took from Los Angeles to New York. He mailed packages of marijuana to post offices along the route so that he would not be caught with the drug.
