Listen: Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize Lecture Is Online

Discussing Buddy Holly, Moby Dick, and so much more...

Bob Dylan has posted his Nobel Prize lecture online – listen to it now.

The legendary songwriter was awarded the prize for literature at the tail end of 2016, but took his sweet time before accepting.

Agreeing to accept the Nobel Prize for Literature in private, Bob Dylan was also asked to supply the traditional Nobel lecture.

Deciding to record rather than present his speech, it makes for truly fascinating listening.

Bob Dylan opens by recalling his experiences at a Buddy Holly concert, before veering into the folk world.

The songwriter also discusses literature, including the impact of everything from Moby Dick and The Odyssey.

Tune in now.
