Question

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.

    INXS paid homage to Dylan with "Mediate:" INXS - Mediate - YouTube

    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
