Did Dylan crib from SparkNotes for Nobel lecture?
BOB Dylan has been accused of cribbing. Again.
Slate's Andrea Pitzer suggested the musician took parts of his Nobel Prize for literature lecture from SparkNotes, the online study guides students often use to cram for an English test when they've failed to read a classic novel.
If it's true, it wouldn't be the only odd thing about the lecture. Dylan was named the Nobel winner in October. All Nobel Prize winners are required to write a lecture, and they have six months after the awards ceremony to deliver it. The winners generally give it in person, but Dylan skipped the ceremony and recorded the speech in Los Angeles, turning it in to the Swedish Academy many months later.
