I`m not sure about that. I wonder if you`re thinking about this famous meeting, from the Don`t Look Back movie, in which Dylan`s verdict on I`ll Sing A Song For You is " Yeah, that`s a great song , man."



For me, Donovan was too much of a nice guy: with his soft voice and the rather predictable floor/door, sad/bad rhymes,this song, like so many of his others, becomes a kind of lullaby for adults.
Donovan`s a kitten, but Dylan, playing the self-same acoustic guitar, has real claws and can bite too.
