Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature

I’m playing with a guy who does a nice version of "Tangled Up In Blue", and I’m going to suggest adding "Watching The River Flow" to his repertoire. It’s a forgotten gem of a song from the early 70’s, performed in a blues shuffle feel. Real fun to play, I’ll bet.

At the Nobel ceremony today Patti Smith sang A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall and accepted the award.

That's odd, Geoff. I wonder, did Patti do so as authorized by Bob, on his behalf?

This guy was just a country kid from Northern Minnesota doing his own thing who became the voice of a generation. Just imagine how difficult dealing with that level of "fame" must be. No wonder he frequently looks uncomfortable. No wonder he doesn't want to accept the award.
