May 24, 2011 - The Beatles official Twitter (verified account) wished Bob Dylan, a Happy Birthday.  Dylan of course is one of several musicians to have inspired The Beatles.  Here's the screenshot of the Birthday wishes…

The Beatles first met Dylan on August 28, 1964 at the Delmonico Hotel in New York City.  That is where Dylan famously turned The Beatles on to smoking marijuana.  I cannot seem to find any photos of all four of The Beatles with Dylan but check out this cool video of John Lennon and Bob Dylan chatting in the back of a taxi on May 27, 1966.  Dylan ends up throwing up in the car at the end…

There is also this picture of John Lennon and Paul McCartney holding The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album…

George Harrison of course was great friends with Dylan and played together with him in The Traveling Wilburys.  Here's a few photo's of George and Bob.

Here is Dylan with another Beatles friend Paul McCartney…

And finally one of Ringo Starr and Dylan…
