1. seems like a bit of an overreaction to me
( I kind of like the sound of cicadas) but then my wedding had a bunch of things that went wrong, funny now, but not at the time.

2. Dylan even celebrated them in a song
This was in 1970 -- two 17-year cycles ago -- when he got an honorary degree (I think at Princeton) and wrote a song about it. It's not exactly first-rate Dylan, but on the other hand it's the only pro-cicada song I know of.

Oh, the benches were stained with tears and perspiration,
The birdies were flying from tree to tree.
There was little to say, there was no conversation
As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree.

And the locusts sang off in the distance,
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody.
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance,
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me.
