Did Bob Dylan sue Hootie and the Blowfish for "Only Wanna Be With You"?

[Shell Beau]

I have heard before that Dylan sued Hootie for using the term "tangled up in blue" in that song. I can't seem to find any real facts regarding this.

1. Too bad there are insufficient grounds to sue them for merely existing.

3. Ha! I am not big Hootie fans by any means, but I was

disappointed to hear Dylan sued because of this. The song was more of a tribute to him.

5. "rock" + golf

6. Can we make it a class action?

I'll join. :)

8. Really?

Even if you hate Hootie, should they have really been sued? I mean it was a tribute. He respected Dylan.

10. That's not what I would call respect.

I mean for his music in general.

11. How do you know that though? Darrius Rucker claimed to

be a huge Dylan fan. It might not have shown in musical style, but still.

2. Idiot Wind

They also used "They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy", a line from the Dylan song Idiot Wind.

4. Didn't realize that.

Still, I don't get the suit. Like I said earlier, it was more of a tribute to Dylan than ripping him off.
