'The last line of Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues is "The pumps don't work 'cos the vandals took the handles."

This refers to an incident when he attended a college party in New York, at the college attended by Steely Dan's Walter Becker & Donald Fagen.

The same incident is referred to in their song Reelin' In The Years in the line "The weekend in the college didn't turn out like you planned. The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand."
