“If Bobby Goldsboro hadn’t shown Richards the open tunings . . .”
Would never have guessed that in a million years - in fact, when I was listening to pop radio in my car in the ‘60’s, there probably wasn’t anything that moved my finger to change the channel quicker than the opening notes of “Honey”.
And now I find out that Goldboro opened for the Stones on their first US tour! I know groups hate to be shown up by their opening acts, but Bobby Goldboro / Rolling Stones? I’m still trying to figure that one out.

And along similar lines, there were probably a lot of rock vs. country aficionados unaware back then that Glen Campbell was playing guitar for the Beach Boys and others as well.
Put me in the group that believes that roughly 1963-75 was a time for music not equaled by any I know of before or since.
For awhile every year a significant new style of music took over from the last. Folk, folk rock, British, psychedelic, etc.
One day the Kingston Trio is the most widely known musical group in the world, next year comes Bob Dylan, next year comes the Beatles, etc.
A significant aspect of the British Invasion was they were handing back our own Blues, which inspired many British individuals and groups.
The Stones and Beatles played Chuck Berry, for example.
