As the recipient of the MusiCares Person of the Year 2015 award , Bob Dylan delivered a 30-minute acceptance speech that was equal parts riveting, confessional and controversial. During the speech, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend thanked his many supporters and the artists who covered and spread the message of his work, while also singling out his “detractors” with sharply prepared barbs. A source close to the Dylan camp provided Rolling Stone with a transcript of the singer’s speech, taken from Dylan’s own notes. The song writing legend thank many other legend singers throughout his career in his speech like, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Nina Simone, and many others.
