A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

This is my favorite song
One more cup of coffee
It was used as the sound track in a western film "I am not there"

Bob Dylan's Nobel silence 'impolite and arrogant' - BBC News

Until we are told if Bob was actually asked in advance if he would welcome the Award, then it is moot where the arrogance lies.

If the Nobel Committee acted unilaterally, then they were at best discourteous in not testing the waters before going public.

Especially knowing that Bob is not known for being an Establishment sycophant.

He probably doesn't want to accept the prize because Alfred Nobel invented dynamite.
Which would have been a suitable item to place under every Bob Dylan record in existence.
