You might not thinking about just how much influence The Beatles and Bob Dylan had on each other, but Where The Music Had to Go (Simon & Schuster) dives into that very relationship, showing how the two acts were at first dismissive of each other. Dylan dissed the Beatles as “teenieboppers,” and Paul McCartney called Dylan’s music “folk crap.” Find out how they eventually came to be mutual admirers and even imitators. Journalist Jim Windolf packs his biography with loads of anecdotes, including accounts of every documented encounter between the two acts.
