Bob Dylan is being pretty quiet about winning the 2016 Nobel prize in Literature.  The first musician ever.  Are lyrics poetry?  Is Dylan Nobel prize material?  That's up to you.  Meanwhile, his silence in the matter has struck some as ill-mannered.   I mean it is an honor.   Though he doesn't speak officially for the Swedish Academy, academy member Dagens Nyheter, said, 'One can say that it is impolite and arrogant.'

Fancy a video since I didn't post one yet this weekend?   It doesn't get more Bob Dylan, landmark 60s, than this.  You likely know it:

ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MEN

(Oscars, Oscars, Oscars - and - Leap.)

My head is spinning.  I had no idea so much math and history went into this Leap Year stuff.  It includes Julius Caesar, Greek astronomers, the Roman Republic, B.C. and A.C., the 'solar year,' Popes, a Gregorian calendar, and long division.  I'll finish with this tidbit of science:  Superman was born in a Leap Year, Feb. 29th.   Super men, are hard to come by.

Principle in the type:  "May you grow up to be righteous/May you grow up to be true/May you always know the truth/And see the lights surround you/May you always be courageous/Stand upright and be strong/. . . "      Bob Dylan
