PAUL: Well, five months after a surprise announcement and three months after the formal award ceremony that he said he was too busy to go to, Bob Dylan has quietly accepted his Nobel Prize for literature in a private ceremony in Sweden.</s>BLACKWELL: Why now is the question. Well, he was already in Stockholm to perform this weekend so he said, while I'm here, let's just do it. There were no cameras allowed at the ceremony. Dylan did not speak to the media. He is the first singer/songwriter to be awarded the Nobel Prize. The Swedish Academy said that he -- quoted -- "created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition." Well deserved.</s>PAUL: No doubt about it. And thank you so much for being with us. Don't go anywhere.</s>BLACKWELL: We've got more ahead of the next hour of your NEW DAY and that starts right now.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: New information that we are learning about the former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. What will certainly be scrutinized are three different sources of income that Flynn received from Russian sources.
