At last, Minnesota native Dylan to receive Nobel prize in Stockholm

STOCKHOLM - Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, a Minnesota native, will receive his Nobel Literature Prize diploma and medal in the next few days in Stockholm, where is he due to perform this weekend, the secretary of the Swedish Academy said on Wednesday.

The Academy's decision to give the bard of "Blowin' in the Wind" the literature prize caused controversy, only deepened by Dylan's silence about the award for weeks afterwards and his no-show at the annual banquet in December.
