Bob Dylan pissed off a bunch of elites
Welcome to the club!
This is refreshing.
Maybe he thought he didn’t deserve it.
Maybe it’s the Nobel committee that is arrogant and self important. Maybe Dylan just doesn’t care.
The answer my friend, is blowin’ in the wind.
Then again this is an outfit that honoured Arafat so there is that.
I’m not surprised. He never wanted the slogan ‘voice of a generation’ attached to him. He said it was up to people to lead themselves not depend on leaders. Good for you, Bob.
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
The Nobels have become a joke.
He rendered the response they are due.
Bob’s stock just went up with me.
Receiving a Nobel Prize is not the honor it once seemed to be.

In the past, he’s had a ranch farm that he’d get snowed in on and he would be pretty close to out of touch. Maybe those times have changed; but I don’t know about that.
Hey Nobel committee, I would not feel so all alone everybody must get stoned.
What a riot. Buncha pinheads managing a fund started by the inventor of dynamite, who’ve given a “peace prize” to a known palestinian terrorist/murderer (Arafat), do-nothing with no resume to speak of “community activist” first-term President (before he started undeclared war bombing campaigns on two continents), yeah, those guys. And they’re whining because one of their “nominees” are blowing them off. Sure. Dylan’s above and beyond their poser act. Your answer “academy” is blowing in the TNT.
Perhaps Bob Dylan has great respect for the prize and does not want to demean it by accepting it.
And the Joooooos keep on winning.
Maybe he didn’t want to be identified with a group of complete idiots that would give that prize to clowns like Obama, Gore, Arafat, Carter, etc.
Since the Nobel Prizes have become meaningless and mostly political, they shouldn’t expect any respect from any of the recipients. Obama had no business getting the Nobel Peace prize, and it was granted on the belief that he would work towards peace. Yeah, we have peace all over the world, just as expected. If the Nobel committees had any decency, they would ask Obama to give back the award, and they would proceed to declare that from now on, only those that actually accomplished anything to improve the conditions of mankind, would deserve the award(s). With Obama, it was their way of trying to make things happen, and were hoping that Obama would not let them down. But, Obama was a nobody and unaccomplished and could not possibly deliver on any of the Nobel people’s hopes.
Bob Dylan should come out and put the Nobel people in their place, and tell them that he didn’t really do anything that deserves an award, just like Obama didn’t merit getting any award. He should tell them that they cheapened the meaning of the Nobel Peace Prize by awarding it to a nobody who hadn’t earned it, and still hasn’t earned it, 8 years later.
I think it is hilarious the winner of the Nobel prize for literature has nothing to say.
