In addition to the song's influence on music, the song was used in what became one of the first "modern" promotional film clips,
the forerunner of what later became known as the music video. Although Rolling Stone ranked it 7th in the magazine's
October 1993 list of "100 Top Music Videos", the original clip was actually the opening segment of D. A. Pennebaker's film,
"Dont Look Back", a documentary on Bob Dylan's 1965 tour of England. In the film, Dylan, who came up with the idea,
holds up cue cards for the audience, with selected words and phrases from the lyrics. The cue cards were
written by Donovan, Allen Ginsberg, Bob Neuwirth and Dylan himself.
