  Although I'm sure he did influence their career a bit, I think that
  Dylan's given waaaay too much credit for whatever inspiration he might
  have provided.

  I think it's far more significant that around the time of "Help" and
  "Rubber Soul" that not only were audiences getting more adventurous but
  the Beatles were also beginning to enjoy the freedom of being established
  superstars.

<nods>  The "famous enough to get away with it" point is when most interesting
musicians _got_ interesting.  Like the Beatles' departure from straightforward
pop songs, or like Paul Simon or Joni Mitchell or even Bob Dylan himself
veering off from folk, or like Miles Davis leaving mainstream jazz and going
electronic, or whatever.

Rather proves the point about Dylan: more the cause of greatness in 
others than the creator of greatness himself.
