Nobel prizes awarded: Feringa beams, statement Bob Dylan – NOS

In the concert hall of Stockholm were the Nobel prizes awarded for physics, medicine, economics and literature. The winner of the final price, singer Bob Dylan, was not in Stockholm. He left the prize by his friend and singer Patti Smith. She sang on behalf of him A hard rain’s gonna fall.

But she was so nervous that she the text forgot and have to start over. “Can that again? Sorry, I’m so nervous”, said the singer after she was silent. She was, nevertheless, thunderous applause. Feringa also enjoyed the song: “When they that song of Bob Dylan were to sing, I went all the way back to my youth.”
