“And the Oscar goes to…” ah, no, wait, the Nobel Prizes are playing in another League.
But strange enough, the Nobel Prize in Literature went to: Bob Dylan.
Because they do not have a Nobel Prize for Music? They just wanted to honor Dylan after his 75th birthday? Or…? Just another indicator of a ‘civilization of brouhaha’ as Mario Vargas Llosa pointed out?
Well, Dylan at first did not react at all – the Academy was not amused, declared Dylan being ‘arrogant’. But now, weeks later, Dylan just stated the Prize left him ‘speechless’ and that he will ‘accept’ the prize.
Hey man, you are honored – do not forget about it, at least until DEC 10 when you will attend the awards show.
