==== "Queen Jane Approximately" ==== Polizzotti, in his study of ''Highway 61 Revisited'', writes that the opening track of Side Two, "[[Queen Jane Approximately]]" is in a similar vein to "Like a Rolling Stone", but the song offers "a touch of sympathy and even comfort in place of relentless mockery".<ref name=highwayqueen>{{harvnb|Polizzotti|2006|p=113}}</ref> The song is structured as a series of ABAB [[quatrain]] verses, with each verse followed by a chorus that is simply a repeat of the last line of each verse: "Won't you come see me Queen Jane?".<ref name=williamsqueen>{{harvnb|Williams|1990|pp=166β167}}</ref> Gill calls this song "the least interesting track" on ''Highway 61'', but praises the piano ascending the scale during the harmonica break as an evocation of "the stifling nature of an upper class existence".<ref>{{harvnb|Gill|1998|p=87}}</ref> Others have speculated that the song is directed at Joan Baez and the folk movement, which Dylan had largely left behind. "Queen Jane Approximately" was released as the B-side of Dylan's "[[One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)]]" single in early 1966.<ref>{{harvnb|Krogsgaard|1991|p=51}}</ref>
