Adding a poetic touch to their love story, McLean wrote a song inspired by Dylan called “Mexicali Gal,” featured on his 2024 album “American Boys.” The lyrical tribute showcases his admiration for Dylan, referring to her as a movie queen in his life. This beautiful gesture encapsulates the deep bond shared between McLean and Dylan.
