john lennon wrote i am the walrus in part to kinda lampoon dylan and to spit in the eye of any of those folks trying to find deep meanings in nonsense. responding to some statement 'bout the genius o' dylan, lennon opined, "I can write this $h!7 too."
HA! Good Fun!
Of course, world is full with **** opinions - and madness of Walrus had nothing to do with Dylan
It was response to letter he got from his old school from student. He/She told they had been analysing Lennon's lyrics in the class and Lennon decided to make absolutely nonsensical song to "Let the ****ers work that one out."
It had nothing to do with Dylan
