Weird Al Yankovic’s Bob parody with an Alan Ginsberg lookalike in the background and where very single lyric in the entire song is a palindrome, including the title:
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfish as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?
(From “Particles”. By the way, most people think Weird Al is sophomoric at best)

“Well, I can sail a boat & fly a plane”...
You’ve known all about the July 25, 1965 concert when Dylan played electric guitar in public for the first time, singing Maggie’s Farm at the Newport Folk Festival, but have you actually heard it before? (From Hard travelin’). Photo here.
A year earlier, it was all Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues:
Well, I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue,
I didn't know what in the world I was gonna do,
Them Communists they wus comin' around,
They wus in the air,
They wus on the ground.
They wouldn't gimme no peace. . .
So I run down most hurriedly
And joined up with the John Birch Society,
I got me a secret membership card
And started off a-walkin' down the road.
Yee-hoo, I'm a real John Bircher now!
Look out you Commies!
