Ever since they gave Obongo the Peace Prize in 2009 the Nobel Prize has been irrelevant. Dylan’s refusal to grace them with his appreciation not only reflects reality it speaks well of Dylan.

Maybe he doesn’t want it. Anybody bother to ask him?

Dylan rightly feels embarrassed by the ridiculousness of this award. Funny our POTUS couldn’t come to the same sentiment.

He must have the same agent as Bill Murray. That is funny but then again it maybe to a limited audience that gets it...

Barack Obama, who has frequently declared himself to be a great fan of Dylan’s, tweeted congratulations to the legendary rock star for his Nobel Prize, calling him “one of my favorite poets.”

Yeah he’s right up there with Frank Marshall Davis.

The Nobel is discredited. A hack job. Don’t blame him for not calling them.

I’m glad to see Dylan blowing this off. It became clear what a joke these nobel prizes have become after they gave Bozo the peace prize for no reason other than to try and look cool and relevant.

Nobel prizes have become like grammies and oscars. Just the elites patting each other on the back, throwing light on the liberal meme du hour, while real people continue to struggle.

Don’t recipients have to show up to receive the prize?

Dylan was just doing a show in Vegas and he’s doing Oklahoma and Louisiana next, so it’s not like he’s been in hiding. Stick it to ‘em, Bob!

Bob Dylan is an American treasure and the answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind. I’d bet money he’s a Trumpster.
