Patti Smith Performed For The Absent Bob Dylan At The Nobel Prize Acceptance Thingy

Bob Dylan didn’t show up in Stockholm, Sweden to collect his Nobel Prize in literature award. They weren’t exactly expecting his grizzled ass to show up. From all the bitchery that ensued after his win was announced, can you blame the crusty folk legend? In his stead, pioneering rock n’ roll poetess Patti Smith gifted the audience with a performance of Bob’s “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” accompanied by an orchestra. Things went a little stumbly when Patti messed up the lyrics.
