George Harrison Said the Rock Press Tried to 'Kill' Bob Dylan

George Harrison claimed the rock press tried to “kill” Bob Dylan. The former Beatle knew what it felt like to have the press eat you alive. However, he defended his friend as much as he could.

From the start, Dylan amazed George with everything he did. Whether Dylan sang folk, rock, or country, George loved it all. Other fans weren’t as open-minded.

George attended Dylan’s performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall in May 1965. Dylan walked on stage with an electric guitar.

In Here Comes The Sun: The Spiritual And Musical Journey Of George Harrison, Joshua M. Greene wrote that the move prompted boos from fans “who viewed the switch from acoustic as a betrayal of his folk purity.”
