Here we listed some John Lennon quotes about Bob Dylan
1- “I didn’t come after Elvis and Dylan, I’ve been around always. But if I see or meet a great artist, I love ’em.”
2- “I stopped listening to Dylan with both ears after Highway 64 (sic) and Blonde on Blonde, and even then it was because George (Harrison) would sit me down and make me listen.”
3- “There is nothing conceptually better than rock ‘n’ roll. No group, be it Beatles, Dylan or Stones, have ever improved on Whole Lot of Shaking for my money. Or maybe I’m like our parents: that’s my period and I dig it and I’ll never leave it.”
4- “Most of the songs came from Europe and Africa and now they were coming back to us. Many of [Bob] Dylan’s best songs came from Scotland, Ireland or England. It was a sort of cultural exchange.”
5- “I started being me about the songs, not writing objectively, but subjectively. I think it was Dylan who helped me realize that – not by any discussion or anything, but by hearing his work.””
6- “In Paris in 1964 was the first time I ever heard Dylan at all. Paul got the record (The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan) from a French DJ. For three weeks in Paris we didn’t stop playing it. We all went potty about Dylan.”
7- “I am like a chameleon, influenced by whatever’s going on. If Elvis can do it, I can do it. If the Everly Brothers can do it, me and Paul can. Same with Dylan.”
8- “Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It’s quite possible to do anything, but not if you put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don’t expect Carter or Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself.”
