According to author Jim Windolf, who recently discussed his book on Frank Santopadre's 'Fun for All Ages' podcast, Bob Dylan parodied The Beatles' 'Norwegian Wood' in 1966. Dylan then filmed himself confronting John Lennon about the parody while, by Windolf's account, quite intoxicated. Lennon's response was notably unenthusiastic—he appeared bored. The exchange captures a moment of creative rivalry between two music icons.
