I heard it earlier this week and there's lots of references in the song as noted by John above and some are very obscure and Rolling Stone has a summary of about 20 of them including the one below which is obviously not obvious in the best tradition of Dylan:
11. “Play it for Carl Wilson, too/Looking far, far away down Gower Avenue”
Carl Wilson was one of the founding members of the Beach Boys. In 1976, he sang background vocals on the Warren Zevon song “Desperados Under the Eaves,” which contains the line, “Look away down Gower Avenue, look away.” Dylan is a longtime fan of Zevon. In 2002, shortly before Zevon’s death, he played many of his songs in concert.

Is it worthy, or is it Van Morrison-of-the-last-40-years/Rolling Stones-of-the-last-30-years avoidable?
Also of note for some, Nine Inch Nails has free-released two albums this week.

I'd missed seeing these releases, both Dylan and Nine Inch Nails are good choices right about now, thanks John D and Chrispen.
