The Nobel Foundation released Bob Dylan's Nobel lecture recorded on June 4. (Nobel Prize)“If a song moves you, that’s all that’s important.”This seemed to be the central thesis of Bob Dylan’s Nobel lecture, which the Nobel Foundation released Monday. The lecture is a requirement of Nobel prizewinners, who have six months after the awards ceremony to deliver it. In 2013, the Nobel lecture in literature was replaced with a prerecorded video conversation with its winner, Alice Munro. “When I first received this Nobel Prize for literature, I got to wondering exactly how my songs related to literature,” he began.
