The article writes: "A few lyrical revisions were made on "You Ain't Going Nowhere," the most notable being a reference to Roger McGuinn. Told to "pick up your tent, you ain't going nowhere," McGuinn's band, The Byrds, had successfully recorded "You Ain't Going Nowhere" on their landmark album, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, and they even issued their recording as a single. The motivation for this reference has never been made clear."
The motivation for the jibe is, in fact, crystal clear: the Byrds version (sung by McGuinn) screwed up the lyrics. The Byrds version says "Pack up your money, pick up your tent" where Dylan had written "Pick up your money, pack up your tent." A history of the "dispute" can be found at http://ebni.com/byrds/lpsotr.html
Is this about the album or Dylan's activities in 1971
There seems to be a lot of discussion about what was recorded in 1971 beyond the album. Is this appropriate? --John (User:Jwy/talk) 07:49, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
