Bob Dylan Gets the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Hi All,

I'm not an American, so I haven't got a clue what the Presidential Medal of Freedom actually is - other than its the highest civilian award you can get. I'm guessing it's because you don't have a Monarch or something so you guys can't have "real" awards. 

Haven't we all got freedom already? If you have the Medal of Freedom do you get to go on a plane with over 100ml of fluid? Can you bring as much Canadian porn across the border as you like?


Anyway, 71 year old Bob Dylan has now got one for his "considerable influence on the civil rights movement in the 1960s" and for his "significant impact on American culture over the past five decades".

Those dates don't really add up do they? Did he take a decade off or something?

I digress, as Bob got an award, I thought I'd make everyone's day by doing a cover of a cover, which is the best way of doing things, so here it is

Desolation Row:




Thanks for listening
