I read a thing on the new Stones album and they talked about Desert Trip. Sounds like Dylan was really questioning if he deserved it or not going by the Stones comments.

Smart move on Dylan's part.
Smart move on Dylan's part. Patti Smith will read the speech beautifully and sing the chosen song hauntingly.
I think the Nobel Committee means a lot, and he's truly stunned by getting the award. But he doesn't want to put on a monkey suit and sit through the ceremony. And we all know how lousy he is at giving speeches--even prepared ones.
As for whether or not he "deserves" the award... if the committee gave it to him, they think he deserves it. And it's their call, right?

I always thought he won it
I always thought he won it already. I think I'm confusing it with the Kennedy Center honors. He also played for the pope.
