Bob Dylan will formally receive his Nobel Prize in Literature in Stockholm, Sweden this weekend:

"The Swedish Academy is very much looking forward to the weekend and will show up at one of the performances," Nobel spokesperson Sara Danius wrote in a statement Wednesday. "The good news is that the Swedish Academy and Bob Dylan have decided to meet this weekend. The Academy will then hand over Dylan's Nobel diploma and the Nobel medal, and congratulate him on the Nobel Prize in Literature. The setting will be small and intimate, and no media will be present; only Bob Dylan and members of the Academy will attend, all according to Dylan's wishes."

He will deliver a taped lecture at some point later.

Also at NPR and Billboard.

    Maybe it's just me, but every time I've tried to listen to Dylan, I didn't see what everyone raves about. If it's lyrics/songwriting, can someone point me to some examples where this is on display? I'd like to give the guys a fair chance, and that seems like a reasonable way.

    I feel like I'm somehow missing "the meat", and don't really know how to find it.
