NOBEL PRIZE CEREMONY STOCKHOLM (PATTI SMITH / DYLAN) ~










It seems Patti Smith went over to Sweden (for Dylan?) 
and flubbed a line in “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” —  
quite the choice to sing at a Nobel ceremony.
It’s priceless, the photograph, covering her face with her hands in shame. 
We forgive her.
In fact, we love her.
