For more than fifty years, Bob Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture. He has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
He has also received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award.

The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."
