Bob looks a tad wary. I wonder if academia makes him shudder. The thought of being exposed, or perhaps the straitjacket discipline of dogma makes him frown.
Or maybe it's all Greek to him! Either way, good to see him collect his dues. It's kind of like the old world benevolently welcoming the new.
Except maybe it's not!
The look on Bob Dylan's face is just priceless.
