Watch an inebriated Bob Dylan troll a bored John Lennon about stealing "Norwegian Wood"

Jim Windolf’s book, Where the Music Had to Go, recounts a 1966 moment when Bob Dylan parodied the Beatles’ Norwegian Wood and, while visibly high, filmed himself provoking John Lennon about the song in the back of a limousine. Dylan had written Fourth Time Around for Blonde on Blonde, borrowing heavily from Norwegian Wood, and played it for the Beatles, prompting Lennon to quip that it belonged to Northern Songs. A contemporaneous eight‑minute video captures the exchange around 2:50, with Lennon bemused as Dylan’s antics edge toward illness. The episode, discussed on Frank Santopadre’s podcast promoting Windolf’s book, underscores the playful yet influential dynamic between Dylan and the Beatles.
