Nobel Panel Still Knock, Knock, Knockin' On Dylan's Door

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Last week, the Swedish Academy named Bob Dylan winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. This week, they're still knock-knock-knocking on Dylan's door. The mercurial songwriter hasn't responded to the Academy's invitation to a December ceremony in his honor.
