this song is almost certainly entirely about joan baez, and definitely isn't even slightly about pot. beyond the simple jean/jane similarity, lines like...
"Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you
And the smell of their roses does not remain"
"Now when all the bandits that you turned your other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas and complain"
"And you're sick of all this repetition"
...make it abundantly clear. if it's not about joan baez, it certainly is a remarkable coincidence that this song is completely consistent with bob dylan's attitude towards joan baez at about exactly the time he wrote and recorded this song.
i agree Pato this is all about Joan and his dissafection with the Newport Folkies..."all your children start to resent you" I believe is about the younger generation forced to go to the festival and listen begrudgingly to the same old songs. Queen Jane...Queen Joan of Folk!!!
