Has music really come to THIS?

[NMH]

Another little known fact about Dylan's version of this song. Although he was no longer playing it live by 1966, he was considereing resurrecting it and using it as the centrepiece for a mini-concept album called 'Week', which would feature seven songs each named after a day. But he dropped the idea when, like a bolt from the blue, The Mamas & The Papas released 'Monday, Monday', and Dylan realised it was twice as good as any song title he had come up with.

Humbled by this, he retitled some of his demos, and several of these actually turned up years later on The Basement Tapes.

He was livid about Ruby Tuesday too, and apparently asked the Stones to make it 'Ruby Wednesday' since he'd spent a month in the studio recording 'It's AlrightMa, It's Only Tueday' and had to re-record the whole song. In those days you couldn't just lift a lyric and replace it with another

I suspect not (if he was there at all). According to this post only yesterday



At the 1965 Newport Festival in Rhode Island, NMH would have been 12 at the very oldest (Pink Floyd formed in 1965) and possibly as young as 9 or 10 (Pink Floyd's first single was released in late 1967).
