I was somewhat surprised he showed up.

He just seemed nervous. He was, I think, 2nd to last to receive medal, and every time they showed a shot of those "waiting" to receive, he looked nervous. Then again, I guess meeting a President could do that. I bet that Obama was more nervous about meeting Dylan. Dylan is a little goofy. I think some of that comes from being in an uncomfortable (for him) social setting. Did you notice how quickly he wanted to get back to his seat after he got his award? Did you notice the "strange" glance Obama gave Dylan at that point? I've seen Dylan in group videos with other famous people and the others, to a person, always look to Dylan for some sort of guidance or leadership. He never supplies it, though.

He is a strange guy. I didn't see any reaction or maybe just a hint of a smile?? FWIW, Two of the many BD songs I like: Blowing in the Wind & Lay Lady Lay come to mind. TIS

Wwhen presenting the Medal of Freedom, the President should have asked him, "How does it feel?" One of Dylan's early songs has a lyric that goes something like, - even the President stands naked sometimes. Maybe Obama knew the lyric. Scorcese did a documentary (I think it was Marty), "Back Home Again" (even that I'm vague on that, and I have the DVD), but it goes back to his early years. We might think of him as politically oriented and to the left, but Joan Baez speaks of Bob as only interested in his music and lyrics, not protests or public displays. He wasn't into the peace rallies or protests of the 60's, thus his uncomfortableness. Wonder why he went to the award presentation? Maybe to have some material to write about. I went to a Dylan show about 4 years ago; very aloof, does not interact with the audience, does not talk between songs. Strictly music, but I love his music and history; incredible body of work.

What does this award mean? It's the highest award that the president can hand out. It's usually for civilians who have done a great service to the country.
