I know you avoided the second reason on purpose. While I think that Dylan is a song writer not a novelist, my point was that he didn't bother to show up to the award banquet and his response when told he won wasn't exactly ecstatic, so it wasn't my opinion, it was Dylan's reaction that I was talking about.
You know, if you took a minute to actually read and think about what was said, you wouldn't find yourself trying to spin things quite so much.
