Dylan only

Breaks the "Dylan only" thing, but no matter. Bear with me for a second.

The Beatles met Bob Dylan at the end of their 1964 US Tour. Dylan turned the Beatles on to pot, encouraged John to play more harmonica, and impressed them (especially John) with his commitment to lyrics as an art form independent of (or equal to) music. In turn, The Beatles played a part in Dylan's decision to go electric the following year.

Dylan's influence shows up first on "I'm a Loser," and then again on Help's "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," where Lennon cops lines (and other elements) from two different Dylan tunes. Dylan's fingerprints are all over Rubber Soul, especially in John's song "Norwegian Wood."

Dylan responds by producing this song, an obvious reference to Norwegian Wood, and one generally assumed to be a shot across the bow at John for dipping into Dylan's well too often.
 
is this the same Bob Dylan who gave the rolling stones thier name?

And the same Rolling Stones that denied the same. Just a quibbling point.

But you can declare yourself a winner, and then go fuck yourself sean jr.

I place the same importance on either eventuality. :)

do you want the humiliating history lesson again about when Dylan wrote his lyrics and when the rolling stones were formed? I appreciate that when you're in your cups time travel seems possible, but really it isn't.
