Bob Dylan’s Website Acknowledged His Nobel Win, Then Removed It
Photo by Christopher Polk/GettySo Bob Dylan has been rather quiet since winning the most prized award in all of literature. He has yet to publicly acknowledge winning the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Nobel committee has given up trying to get in touch with him, though they did get a friendly response from “his closest collaborator,” whoever that may be. So far the only acknowledgements of the historic win from Dylan’s camp have been a post to his social media that simply stated that he had won, with no comment from Dylan, and a retweet from President Barack Obama’s official Twitter post congratulating him on the win.
That is, until Spin pointed out via screenshot that Dylan’s official website had posted an acknowledgement of the award in the description of Dylan’s new book The Lyrics: 1961-2012.
