Bob Dylan criticised as 'impolite and arrogant' by Nobel academy member

Haha that's even funnier than not accepting it

Just ignoring it like it's not even worth a minute of your time either way

That's actually pretty cool.

^ ... and he is in good but select company:-

Quote:
[Nobel prize administration] Academy member Per Wastberg told Swedish television: "He is who he is," adding that there was little surprise Dylan had ignored the news. "We were aware that he can be difficult and that he does not like appearances when he stands alone on the stage."

It is still not known if he will travel to Stockholm to receive the prize on 10 December. If he does not, a ceremony marking his career will go ahead as planned, Mr Wastberg said.

Mr Wastberg called the snub "unprecedented", but one person has previously rejected the Nobel Prize in Literature - French author and philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre in 1964.

And one other recipient was distinctly underwhelmed by the honour conferred upon her by the Swedish Academy. On learning she had won the prize in 2007, having just returned from doing her shopping, the author Doris Lessing responded: "Oh Christ."
