#3 Yasser Arafat got one of these baubles too for peace. Al Gore won 1/2 a Nobel peace prize. They have become a joke. As Groucho said: "I Don’t Want to Belong to Any Club That Will Accept Me as a Member."

#4 Where were they when Dylan was writing all of his hit songs? Ignoring him, that's where. Treating him like a leper. But he didn't need them then and he doesn't need them now. They are worse than irrelevant.

#7 Nashville Skyline was one of his best albums IMO. Johnny Cash was on the album also.

#8 The Peace prize is a joke but I thought the others were still prestiges.

In Bob's defense he was probably stoned out of his gourd on peyote in some kind of Indian Sweet-tent away from civilization and suddenly they surprise him with an award he didn't know he was even in the running for. Give him a break.
