Bob Dylan to Get Presidential Medal of Freedom

Bob Dylan will get the nation's highest civilian honor later this spring, reports Bloomberg. Dylan, 70, will be one of 13 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He's already got scores of Grammys, an Oscar, and a Pulitzer, and the Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog can't help but wonder: Is a Nobel next?

Other recipients this year include John Glenn, Pat Summitt, Madeleine Albright, Toni Morrison, Shimon Peres, and the Supreme Court's John Paul Stevens. The Los Angeles Times has the full list, along with brief bios. (More Bob Dylan stories.)
