Finn McCool	Blowin' in the Wind - Ripoff? (37)	Blowin'in the Wind Ripoff?	28 Oct 01
Dear Catters, Urban legend or not: Did Bob Dylan rip off the song Blowin'in the Wind from another folksinger named Lorre Wyatt? On one web site I found the song Little Sadie listed as "Words and music copyright Bob Dylan". That song was old well before Dylan was born. Also, the tune and even the format of With God on Our Side appear to have been lifted from Patriot Games, another pre-Dylan song. He seems not to have a very good track record in this area. Makes the Lorre Wyatt thing seem more credible. What do you think? --Finn
