There are a few reasons why fans and critics agree that the jester is Bob Dylan.
The first reason is that simply put, the descriptions of the jester match up to the persona and image of Dylan at the time.
McLean mentions how the jester wears a coat borrowed from James Dean, almost certainly a nod to how Dylan donned a jacket on the cover of his 1963 album Freewheelin, which closely resembles a jacket worn by Dean in the 1955 film Rebel Without a Cause.
And then McLean says the jester was in a cast on the sideline, an apparent reference to Dylan’s mysterious 1966 motorcycle accident near Woodstock, New York, which led Dylan to cancel all of his upcoming public appearances thereafter while he nursed his injuries.
But then again, there are those skeptics who believe Dylan’s motorcycle accident was staged, little more than an excuse to get out of those upcoming public appearances. If McLean shared that belief, all the more reason for him to consider Dylan somewhat of a… well—jester.
It may also be true that McLean felt a bit of resentment towards Dylan for his success and the way he changed music in the 1960s.

Re #16 – Openreach operate the old BT landline network on behalf of numerous ISP’s. So unless you have Virgin Media or one of the smaller fibre company networks passing your property you are stuffed. If Deryl Lynn has a good signal from one of the UK mobile phone networks then a cheap 4/5G router is the quickest way to get back online. I’ve got one of these, and it works well:

You can buy “Pre Loaded” Data only SIM’s from Vodafone & EE (the same company but their mobile network, NOT landline) from Argos. I use them in my motorhome and 120GB valid for 12 months is between £50 – £60, but shorter term ones are available on the ‘net. Alternatively, a no-contract SIM from operators like Smarty or GiffGaff, with monthly recurring billing which you can cancel any time.
This isn’t intended to be a series of adverts, just some helpful advice.
Also, Vodafone SIM’s need to be “activated” online – tricky if you don’t have internet access, whereas EE SIM’s are “Plug & Play”. Virtually every shop checkout sells cards from many of the smaller MNVO’s*. Just make sure you buy one using a mobile network which you know works in your area:
