STOCKHOLM: Details of Bob Dylan's receipt of his Nobel Prize for literature were being kept under close wraps on Saturday, leaving those wanting to know more about it blowin' in the wind. The decision to give the bard the literature prize caused controversy that only deepened when Dylan remained silent about the award for weeks afterward. "Getting ready for Dylan's concerts in Stockholm this weekend," Academy secretary Sara Danius said in a blog post on Friday. Danius said earlier this week that the notoriously media-shy Dylan would not hold the traditional Nobel lecture this weekend, but that a taped version would probably be sent at somepoint. In order to receive the price of 8 million Swedish crowns (US$903,000) prize, Dylan needs to give a lecture within six months from Dec 10.
