George Harrison Didn't Want to Imagine a World Without Bob Dylan

George Harrison didn’t want to imagine a world without his friend and bandmate Bob Dylan. It would be one of his nightmares. The former Beatle greatly loved the “Like a Rolling Stone” singer.

In Here Comes The Sun: The Spiritual And Musical Journey Of George Harrison, Joshua M. Greene wrote that as a teenager, George first saw Dylan in Liverpool on a Granada television program about New York’s beat poets.

“While appearing in Paris in 1964, the Beatles picked up two of Bob Dylan’s albums at a radio station and were so mesmerized by his wise lyrics and simple chords that they played the albums constantly in their Hôtel George V suite,” Greene wrote.

The admiration was mutual. It was clear to Dylan that The Beatles were “doing things nobody was doing. Their chords were outrageous and their harmonies made it all valid, but I kept it to myself that I really dug them,” he told biographer Anthony Scaduto.
