Congrats to the legendary songwriter Bob Dylan on his Nobel Price for Literature.

I think it's well-deserved and long overdue.

I wonder if he'll interrupt his never ending tour to accept it.

Must be a favorite for Typography students and Designers. A few have tried this with Typographic animation, but here's the original.

Still, great fun to see the original wellspring of genius. Thanks for sharing! Dylan's influence has spanned six decades and continues to be relevant.

Dylan has been performing in Palm Springs, CA with Paul McCartney last week (pre-Nobel announcement) and the Rolling Stones last night. So far, no comment about the Nobel.

Mick Jagger said last night, "we've never shared the stage with a Nobel laureate before."

Dylan's playlist both nights was identical except for one song addition last night: "Why Try to Change Me Now."

"Why Try To Change Me Now"

I'm sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I've got some habits
That I can't explain
Could start for the corner
Turn up in Spain
Why try to change me now

I sit and daydream
I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes
There they go on the floor
I go away weekends
And leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now

Why can't I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that's not for me
Cuz I can't see
My kind of crazy world
Go passing me by
So let people wonder
Let 'em laugh
Let 'em frown
You know I'll love you
Till the moon's upside down

Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me now
Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me
Why try to change me now
