From NOW ON, that song is YOURS: The INTIMATE Reaction of one GENIUS to another
When was the only time the rock poet Bob Dylan admitted that another artist had surpassed his own song? Dylan had composed "All Along the Watchtower" in 1967, a raw, lyrical, and metaphor-laden ballad that cemented his status as a genius. But just a year later, the guitar god Jimi Hendrix took that masterpiece and transformed it into something entirely different. Discover the story of this clash of geniuses and the noble gesture of humility that forever changed the fate of a song. In This Video You Will Discover: The Original Work: Bob Dylan's deep, acoustic version, full of biblical symbolism, released on the album John Wesley Harding. The Electric Reincarnation: How Jimi Hendrix took the song's skeleton and infused it with a soul of spacey blues and fire, with solos that became a sonic prophecy. The Rock Question: The Tension in the Industry: How would the master of lyricism react to the overwhelming success and popularity of Hendrix's version? The Lesson in Humility: Dylan's intimate reaction upon immediately recognizing pure genius and uttering one of rock's noblest lines: "From now on, that song is his." The Final Recognition: How Dylan, the original author, began to play his own song live, but adopting Hendrix's electric and epic arrangement! The Legacy: This moment demonstrated that music is an open conversation between masters.
