Bob Dylan — or at least his website anyway — finally gives some sign that he knows he won the Nobel Prize.

It's not on the front page of his website or even on the "books" page, but if you click all the way to the page about the new book that collects all his lyrics, you see:

If you want to buy that new book, here's an Amazon link.

Here's what the back cover looks like:



See? He's a writer. He knows it.

But I'm doubting whether this really counts as Bob Dylan acknowledging the Nobel Prize at long last, because the text at his website is the same text that appears at Amazon. It looks like commercial copy from the publisher. I mean, the squib is:

Bob Dylan is one of the most important songwriters of our time, responsible for modern classics such as “Like a Rolling Stone,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and “The Times They Are a-Changin’.” The Lyrics is a comprehensive and definitive collection of Dylan’s most recent writing as well as the early works that are such an essential part of the canon. Well known for changing the lyrics to even his best-loved songs, Dylan has edited dozens of songs for this volume, making The Lyrics a must-read for everyone from fanatics to casual fans.

That's so not Bob Dylan's voice.  And it's perfectly silly to pick out “Like a Rolling Stone,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and “The Times They Are a-Changin’.”
