News came down this morning that Bob Dylan became the first singer-songwriter to win a Nobel Prize for Literature and the first American to win the award since 1993. The historic honor for the 75-year old sent shockwaves through the music and entertainment world, as everyone from the President to comedian Marc Maron and Dylan-disciples like Jason Isbell reacted on social media.
Take a look at a few of the reactions below from Twitter and stay tuned throughout the day as surely more will come in as the news spreads across the world.
I like #TheFreewheeling Bob Dylan. It's mostly solo acoustic and the songs are poignant, polititical, spiritual and tongue in cheek funny https://t.co/rpmyBPe1eK

Not only does Dylan deserve that award, his later-in-life albums hold up far better than Springsteen's, Stones, U2's, you name it...
