Bob Dylan Focused on John Lennon When With The Beatles Because He 'Knew Who Was .

When The Beatles met Bob Dylan in 1964, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr were some of the world’s biggest names. Still, they were excited to meet the American musician. After their first meet up, during which Dylan famously gave the band marijuana for the first time, Dylan reportedly began focusing on one Beatle in particular. He believed Lennon was the band leader, so he paid him the most attention.In 1964, Dylan met The Beatles at the Delmonico Hotel in New York City. Dylan offered them a joint, but before anyone could take it, Lennon ordered Starr to try it first. Starr seemed hesitant, but Lennon told him he had to be the band’s “royal taste tester.” After a moment, he agreed. According to journalist Al Aronowitz, this move “instantly revealed The Beatles’ pecking order” (via the book Ringo: With a Little Help by Michael Seth Starr).
