On the "Harvest Moon" singer's website Neil Young Archives, he shared his thoughts on the Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet.
"I love Bob Dylan and his music. Always have. He’s a great artist," Young, 79, said on Jan. 13, before pivoting into an anecdote about the "Like a Rolling Stone" musician.
"Once he was on my bus and I didn’t recognize him and threw him off but that’s another story," Young continued.
"This movie is a great tribute to his life and music. I think if you love Bob’s music you should see this great movie. I loved it."

Timothée Chalamet as Bob DylanThough Young, who isn't a part of the biopic, didn't elaborate on the tour bus story involving Dylan, 83, he did enjoy the movie. As per Rolling Stone, the musicians met in the 1970s and performed together in 1975 at Bill Graham’s Students Need Athletics, Culture and Kicks (SNACK) show in San Francisco.
They also performed together in 1994 when Dylan was headlining at the Roseland Ballroom and Young, along with Bruce Springsteen, came out to end the show with “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” and “Highway 61 Revisited.”
Young had called Dylan "the master" in 2005 speaking to TIME about Dylan as an inspiration.

"If I’d like to be anyone, it’s him. And he’s a great writer, true to his music and done what he feels is the right thing to do for years and years and years."
The "Heart of Gold" singer continued, "The guy has written some of the greatest poetry and put it to music in a way that it touched me, and other people have done that, but not so consistently or as intensely."
A Complete Unknown stars Chalamet, 29, as Dylan in the 1960s before his music career took off and his performance at the Newport Folk Fest in 1965.
"Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music," the film's synopsis says.
"As he forms his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement and, refusing to be defined, makes a controversial choice that culturally reverberates worldwide."
