<< You are right, Surfin' USA was written by the Beach Boys-the lyrics
were, anyway. The song is attributed to Chuck Berry because he
successfully sued them, saying it was a direct copy of his "Sweet
Little Sixteen". >>
And besides that, I would NEVER try to prove Dylan superior to Brian Wilson
OR Chuck Berry...they are all 3 profound in their own ways...whoever listed
the grouping of folks that wouldn't have happened without Dylan, add Dylan to
the list and you could say that they wouldn't have happened without Chuck
Berry. His impact on the music cannot be overstated.
