I can kind of understand Bob Dylan's reticence in regard to the Nobel Prize. He was proud to receive the US President's medal from Mr Obama, for sure, because Bob is quintessentially, an American with a profound understanding of its traditions. Whether he would have accepted it from any other US President is a moot point. But as for the Nobel Prize...a world renowned yet European Award, an award he never asked for or sought...he would put the letter at the back of the other correspondence I would think.
