Your assumptions are sort of verified here:

This is the relevant bit though
:
I remember a small uproar from readers when you were quoted in Rolling Stone saying that the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper had absolutely no impact on your work. That was sacrilege to some, but it seems obvious now.
I have no idea if I actually ever said that. But [the Beatles] had nothing to do with what we were doing. Which is neither here nor there. It's not criticism. John Lennon later on does "Cold Turkey," but that's years later. It was a continent already visited. But a lot of the old blues guys had gotten there a long time before that, before me.
