A member of the Swedish Academy that awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature to Bob Dylan says the American singer-songwriter’s silence since receiving the honor is “impolite and arrogant.”
Per Wastberg said Dylan’s lack of reaction to the honor the academy bestowed on him last week was predictable, but disrespectful nonetheless.
“One can say that it is impolite and arrogant. He is who he is,” Wastberg was quoted as saying in Saturday’s edition of the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. …

Spring indeed!
God help us.
Bramps, I think you’re referencing a flirt with Christianity a few decades back. (not that that would have made Bob Zimmerman-Dillon NOT Jewish anymore) but he’s a Jew through and through. Thus:
The Jooooooooos win the Nobel again....

The Nobel Prize Committee for Peace already made itself an historical laughing stock by choosing Yasir Arafat and Barack Obama for “peace” prizes. Bobby, a Jewish boy from The Range, must be smart enough to know these arrogant clowns are trying to put him in with very bad company.
I hope that he never answers them and that doesn’t show up. That would be the most polite thing to do if he doesn’t want to speak truth to them.
If Bobby does speak or write, he should tell it like it is with regard to the absurdity of giving prizes to a mega mass murdering terrorist and a president who did nothing for peace and everything to advance jihadists globally. The Nobel power structure must have known ahead exactly that Jihad lovers and Jihad ancillaries were the ones to boost Obama meteorically from obscurity and installed into the U.S. presidency in support of Yasir Arafat’s degenerate evil. Bobby, don’t take the prize.
LOL! It took a while but I actually developed a taste for much of his music - now I have a modicum of respect.
I know but I am trying.
Nobel academy member calls Bob Dylan’s silence ‘arrogant’
Why do you keep saying it is a different group? All of the Nobel awards are distributed by the Nobel Foundation. The ceremonies of each award may be announced at different times and locations, but it is the same group handing out the awards.

If you have evidence of Dylan renouncing his faith in Christ, please present it.
And could you please explain your 'joooooos' comment. At face value, it comes across as an anti-Semitic slur.
PS, I hate his so-called singing.
There was a time when being a private man was an admirable trait.
“Why do you keep saying it is a different group? “
Oops!
Sorry,my error.

The Jooooooooos comments were to thumb our (glorious) Jewish noses at those who accuse us of being too involved in science, finance, art, what have you.
Re his faith, decidedly Jewish. By the way, in Judaism, a Jew cannot renounce his or her Judaism. Dibs on his true soul forever, as it were.

If we have learned anything in the last year, it is the arrogance of the “experts”.
Bob to Nobel Academy: “Just send the check.”
Next time they should actually listen to his lyrics. Morons.
