No, I didn't read his autobiography, but those statements are funny, so maybe I should read it. A little levity can't hurt.

I did hear about Bob not calling them back and nice to see his site says it now. LOL I've seen a lot of authors and those that are mad are so because they feel their books should've been recognized and usually is it something that was published in the past year.

Here is the Dylan thread in which JCL & I had posted about this.

That was it! Thank you.
This is strange - it now seems that any mention of his Nobel Prize win has been removed from Bob Dylan's website. I've no idea whether he was behind either the decision to mention it in the first place, or whether he had anything to do with its removal.

(The Guardian isn't really in my good books, not least for its mean comments about the Eagles last January, but this article made me smile for having a photo captioned with 'Stuck inside his website with the Nobel prize!)
I'm fully in favour of Bob winning the Nobel Prize. I think there are a select few who are his equal as songwriters, but as a lyricist I believe he is unsurpassed. The combination of poetic and enigmatic lyrics (often laced with clever social commentary) in his finest works remains unique. I think his seeming lack of acknowledgement of the prize is somewhat puzzling, but if Bob doesn't wish to acknowledge the award, I'm not sure there's anything anyone can do to persuade him otherwise. He wouldn't be Bob otherwise! I guess all will become clear when he appears (or does not appear) at the Nobel Prize award ceremony on 10th November in Stockholm.
(I personally wouldn't object at all if this topic was merged with the existing Dylan thread, but I'm relaxed either way).
