OK so there's David Bowie's Song For Bob Dylan -
some great lines but it's not that good a song
"Some words of truthful vengeance
They could pin us to the floor"
lyrics http://www.lyricsglobe.com/d/david-bowie/Hunky_Dory/Song_for_Bob_Dylan.html
and Syd Barrett's Bob Dylan Blues - done in his style and in the first person, humorously/affectionatly mocking Bob for profiting from songs of people hardship

"Roam from town to town
Guess I get people down
But I don’t care too much about that
Cause my gut and my wallet are fat
Make a whole lotta dough
But I deserve it though
I’ve got soul and a good heart of gold
So I’ll sing about war in the cold "
any others?

thanks for the songs. i am gonna check them out. i can't say i really know any songs that definitely based on bob dylan. however, i heard that the band's song "stage fright" is based upon him. that could be a rumor though.
i know joan baez wrote songs about him that is for sure.
