Citation needed. The Rolling Stones started in '62. Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" is from '65.

Wikipedia attribute the band's name to the Muddy Waters song, "Rollin' Stone".

I didn't say Dylan's version of the song was original, just that the Rolling Stones are named after it.

Like A Rolling Stone is most definitely an original Bob Dylan song. Dylan may have been inspired by Muddy Waters at best.
