President Obama and Bob Dylan: Medal of FREEDOM

President Obama placing one of the USA's highest honors upon Bob Dylan = The Medal of FREEDOM.


And here is Dylan's "You Ain't Going Nowhere" = a rendition by The Byrds (Columbia Records) on Playboy After Dark from 1968.
(Columbia felt this Dylan tune and others like Nothing Was Delivered that the Byrds also did on SweetHeart of the Rodeo may have better chances to reach top of billboard charts if covered by radio friendly Byrds as Dylan's voice was weird. Keith Richards best friend Gram Parsons of the Everly Bros. Is the lead singer and influence for the Byrds at this time).

Yeah, I wonder how many times both Obama & Dylan were told "You Ain'T Going Nowhere" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q21BF38W3Gs&feature=related
