Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature

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.

He's going to do something in Stockholm (I think it is) next year but was unable to attend this year on short notice,
