Bob Dylan wins Nobel Prize in literature

Postby R-90-2 » Thu Oct 13, '16, 2:27 pm

Just in case Bob's greatness hasn't gotten enough recognition already, Bob Dylan was the recipient of this year's Nobel Prize in Literature in recognition of being "A great poet in the English speaking tradition." This result came against extremely long odds, but his importance to the counterculture movements of the '60s and beyond, as well as his half-century career as a singer-songwriter was judged to deserve some special recognition.

The story can be found here.

Heard there was some drama regarding Dylan not responding to the Nobel Prize people on his win. Did they ever get in touch with him, or did he ever respond?

And, it looks as if Mr. Dylan has finally responded to the Nobel Award win and will try to be there and accept his award.
