December 13th, 1963 [opening]"I haven't got any guitar, I can talk though. I want to thank you for the Tom Paine Award on behalf of everybody taht went down to Cuba. First of all because they're all young and it took me a long time to get young and now I consider myself young. And I'm proud of it. I'm proud that I'm young! And I only wish that all of you people who are sitting out here today or tonight weren't here and I could see all kinds of faces with hair on their head and everything like that, celebrating the anniversary when we overthrew the House Un-American Activities just yesterday - because you people should on the beach. ..."

{someone says to Bob "Time 's about up"} [end] "I just want to admit that I accept this Tom Paine Award in behalf of James Forman of the Students Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and the people on behalf of who went to Cuba"

Bob wrote a letter of apology to the committee. but he knew he was misunderstood.

I'm a Dylanfan since 1963 and the only things that matters for me are his music,lyrics and attending the concerts he gives in my country (the Netherlands)

Who cares about how he looks or what he does in private That's not important and not of our business anyway. He is a minstrel, he travels over the world and we should listen to his messages. 'Things Have Changed' is a beautiful lyric. A short novel with a hidden warning to all of us. The satellite-broadcast was unique, not the short version of the song, the bad sound or the registration. No it was Dylan as one of the nominees. Dylan knew that millions of people all over the world were watching the show and he wasn't sure about winning the award. His body-language said it all. Uneasy and a little shy. By hearing his name as the winner he only lifts his eyebrows a little bit. Calls the jury "bold enough" and hopes that God will give all of us peace and tranquility. He steps back to his band Thank you Bob for not speeching like in 1963, but for being a modest Oscarwinner ! THINGS HAVE CHANGED
