Kesha told Time. "My idol in life, Bob Dylan, agreed to meet up with me because we were playing the same festival,"
"And I was, like, so scared because I had just got hug denied.
"So I was a little hug traumatised, and he just opened his beautiful arms and gave me the most wonderful, healing Bob Dylan hug that I had ever dreamt of, and I just [couldn't] care less about anything else."
During an interview, the 'Praying' singer bounded up to him and offered a big old hug: "I'm Kesha! I love you so much, can I give you a hug?". And he just opened his beautiful arms and gave me the most wonderful, healing Bob Dylan hug that I had ever dreamt of, and I just could care less about anything else." She added that he even gave her a hug after their conversation, too, making her twice-blessed by the folk legend. (Time.com)
Kesha covered Dylan at last year's Billboard Music Awards, and got a standing ovation for her emotional take on 'It Ain't Me Babe'.
Recently Dylan gave the Nobel Prize speech. Now that the lecture has been delivered, the Dylan adventure is coming to a close,” Sara Danius, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which awards the prize, wrote in a blog post.
In the speech, sent to the academy with an audio link in which Dylan reads it aloud, the enigmatic rock star reflects on the possible links between his lyrics and literature.
There have long been rumors that Mr. Dylan had stashed away an extensive archive. It is now revealed that he did keep a private trove of his work, dating back to his earliest days as an artist, including lyrics, correspondence, recordings, films and photographs.
That archive of 6,000 pieces has recently been acquired by a group of institutions in Oklahoma for an estimated $15 million to $20 million, and is set to become a resource for academic study.
