# Talk:I Want You (Bob Dylan song)

Except by you twits. This who section on hidden meanings - when are you going to give it up? John Lennon wrote and sang Glass Onion and still you don't let it go? Do you have nothing better to do? This is infuriating. I am deleting this section, trying to protect Wiki P from further embarrassment; if you want to put it back and be the world's jackasses, be my guest.

Sophie B. Hawkins' cover version of "I Want You" is not as original as described here. It is very closely based, in arrangement and tempo, on the version that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed live over WMMR Philadelphia's airwaves on February 5, 1975. This version would have been very familiar to Hawkins' producer Rick Chertoff, who was based in Philadelphia at the time, as WMMR often rebroadcast it. (Springsteen's 1975 version is on Youtube, and I would link it, but for some reason Wikipedia has blacklisted Youtube links. But it's easily findable.)

In the second paragraph of the page it states that "Dylan has performed the song live 294 times, from its debut in 1976". But in the Live Performance section it states that "Dylan first performed "I Want You" live in concert in 1973, accompanied by Neil Young and members of the Band". I'm not confident enough to edit the page so I'm merely pointing out the discrepancy. FragileFrankie1961 (talk) 23:51, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
