I'm gonna go have a beer. Love ya!

  2. A positive series to view, I am sure. I do like her response after receiving the award.

    1. Andrew, being as you are in Australia, are you aware of the controversy she's alluding to? In case you're not, a well-known American brewery placed a picture of Dylan on a can of a well-known American brand of beer and all right-wing hell broke loose. Fortunately for Dylan and those of us cheering her on, The Streamy Awards (half-owned by the well-known thoroughly-American Dick Clark Productions) racked up 15 million views, presumably some of those viewers American, well-known or not.

      What can I say? It's a big country, and sometimes that pays off.
