I find it interesting that Dylan and Harrison were able to establish and maintain a long friendship. Dylan never formed an equivalent strong liaison with either Lennon or McCartney. I guess egos and reputation were too big. Or media attention would be too overwhelming if say Dylan and Lennon had worked on an album together.
Here is a great anecdote: when Jools Holland went for dinner at Harrison’s country mansion Bob Dylan happened to be visiting. After the meal, did the three musicians a/ roll a fat join? b/ listen to Jimi Hendrix? or c/ watch black and white George Formby films?
Well, you’ld have to be English to appreciate this answer. It was c/ watching the late comedian George Formby.
They left out “It wouldn’t ring true.” I wonder what year that was. They were still young boys. Evocative, isn’t it!! Thanks, as usual!!
Good catch. This was a rehearsal for The Concert For Bangladesh in 1972. That makes Dylan 31 years old and Harrison only 29.
This is such a wonderful photo! You are absolute right in your observation!
Thanks for sharing!
As always your biggest fan,
Donna Elliott

Thanks for stopping by, Richard. The comment about Lennon and McCartney is very insightful. Now I’ve got to go Google George Formby!
