    Jai Maharaj quoted http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2016/10/13/bob-dylan-winner-2016-nobel-prize-in-literature.html :

    The singer was named the winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize
    in literature Thursday in a stunning announcement that
    for the first time bestowed the prestigious award to
    someone primarily seen as a musician.

    "bestowed" upon or on. I never viewed Dylan as a
    singer, because he rarely ever sings, but rather talks
    to music.

    I wish they had regaled us readers with specimens of Dy-
    lan's "new poetic expressions" instead of filling space
    with inane twits.
