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.
