I asked him about it-I said, it sounds so much like Norwegian Wood, and he said, 'Well actually, Norwegian Wood sounds alot like this! I'm afraid they took it from me, and I feel that I have to, y'know, record it.' Evidently, he'd played it for them, and they'd nicked it! I said, 'Aren't you worried about getting sued by The Beatles?' and he said 'They can't sue me!'-----and indeed, they didn't.
