The World Applauds Bob Dylan

Newspaper front pages, magazine covers and Vegas, baby.

A sign outside the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, where Bob Dylan and his band played Thursday ahead of their encore performance tonight at Desert Trip, offered congratulations to the icon for his Nobel Prize for Literature. The New Yorker tipped next week’s cover, an illustration by London-based French illustrator Malika Favre.

And today, the Las Vegas Sun is relaying praise from magician Penn Jillette:

“None of us were surprised that Bob won the Nobel Prize—I’ve been saying he should win it for 20 years, but I knew he had been on the short list for the past five years,” Jillette said.
