American Academy Of Arts And Letters welcomes Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan is to be honored in the American Academy Of Arts And Letters and he's the first rock musician to be elected.

The American Academy Of Arts And Letters is an elite group of only 250 artists, which also includes Meryl Streep, Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese. The organization only admits new members once existing members have died.
Besides Bob Dylan also six other artists have been selected this year: artists Richard Tuttle, Terry Winters, Luc Tuymans, writer Damon Galgut, novelist Ward Just and architect Rafael Moneo.

The organization first wasn't sure to elect the musician for his poetry or his music. The 71 year-old Dylan wrote more than 500 songs in his career, including success hits like: 'Masters Of War', 'Blowin'In The Wind' and 'Like A Rolling Stone'.
