that supposedly took place after Hendrix covered "All Along The Watchtower".

Dylan loves to have his songs covered, as the royalty checks do help.

I saw Roger McQuinn in concert about ten years ago, he told a story about Dylan, who had been approached by by a record producer who wanted to record him. Dylan said no, but also told him:

You want something, here:

The river flows
It flows to the sea

"Give that to McQuinn, he'll make something of it."

Song writing is an art and a gift and Dylan is one of the best ever at it.

Indeed, a capitalist, after all.

I declare this thread officially HIJACKED!!

I'm always inclined to like Dylan. He doesn't seem to take himself as seriously as some celebrities, seems to be a more down to earth guy, doesn't see himself as a god. And writes really good songs, as you noted. Kind of refreshing.
