Anyway. Who cares, really.

Opinions can't be incorrect.
The arrangement for the Hendrix version is so much better though. I'd say arranging is a big part of composing. There is really nothing impressive to me at all about the arrangements that Dylan composed for the original versions of his songs. I'm not saying he needed full band instrumentation, I'm just saying I didn't find the way he played his chord progressions very powerful- they bore me in comparison to similar artists using the same instrumentation.
I'm not the sort of person that likes my favorite artists influences by default.
