Actually that was Bobby's idea. He got sick of all those protest songs I was sending him. And I admit, I was stuck in a rut rewriting all those Woody Guthrie songs. I was getting lazy and Bobby made me work harder. So I wrote "Like A Rolling Stone" and the rest is history.
I'll say one thing, the royalty checks started getting a lot bigger after that. And Bobby enjoyed performing a lot more once the smelly hippies and Commies stopped going to his concerts.
