Great piece, so many good true things here. God bless Bob Dylan, just played every grain of sand last night. Sitting around the fire pit with my two grown children, 22,25. My daughter,25, was blown away by the lyrics. Him, not so much. Bob still sticking it yo the man, unlike so many musicians of his age and era who have knelt to the $$$ and big biz.

Glenn...good piece on Dylan, one of the greats and inspired by greats. The Nobel has been amusing for some time...it's sort of like Davos, WHO, etc. etc. Good material for comedians, if they would only use it, but not to really be taken seriously. Arthor Murray has a great 5 minute post out their today on Dylan's "acceptance" speech of the Nobel.

Love this article. Netflix ran an interesting multi episode series called Nobel a few years ago and showed politics playing a huge part in selections. Honesty, not so much.

Glenn, this may be the best "article" you ever written. Thank you very much. Big Dylan fan.

To the pretentious and self-important Nobel Prize Committees, here is an appropriate song dedication to you all …

How does it feel? 🎶

How does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

A complete unknown

Like a rolling stone? 🎶
