Bob Dylan Update

Bob Dylan Signs Six-Book Publishing Deal - Spinner: "He's one of the most famous lyricists in rock history - now Bob Dylan has signed a deal to write six more books for his publisher Simon And Schuster, including two autobiographical follow-ups to 2004's 'Chronicles: Volume One,' the highly-praised memoir of the star's early years.

Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.
