Bob Dylan，the 75-year-old rock legend received the Nobel Prize for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.Sara Danius，permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy，said Dylan had been chosen because he was a great poet in the English speaking tradition.

Dylan，born on May 24，1941 is an American songwriter，singer，artist，and writer.He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades.Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s.Early songs such as Tangled up in Blue，Blowing in theWind and The Times Are a-Changing became anthems for the American civil fights and anti-war movements.Leaving behind his initial base in the American folk music reviva1(复兴)，his six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone，recorded in 1965，enlarged the range of popular music.

Dylan’s lyrics incorporate a wide range of political，social，philosophical，and literary features.His recording career，spanning more than 50 years，has explored the traditions in American song—from folk，blues，and country to rock and roll，and rockabilly to English，Scottish，and Irish folk music，embracing even jazz and the Great American Songbook. Dylan performs with guitar, keyboards，and harmonica.Backed by a changing lineup of musicians，he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour.His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career，but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.

Since 1994，Dylan has published six books of drawings and paintings，and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries.As a musician，Dylan has sold more than 100 million records，making him one of the best—selling artists of all time.He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards，a Golden Globe Award，and an Academy Award.In May 2012，Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.
