Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize for literature.
The 75-year-old American musician – who you can see this Friday at Desert Trip in Indio- was given the award for “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition,” the Swedish Academy said Thursday.
Sara Danils, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, described Dylan as “A great sampler … and for 54 years he has been at it, reinventing himself.”
