Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Bob Dylan is alive and kicking, and he turned 70 years old on May 24, 2011. Google has more than 2.1 million recorded posts for Bob Dylan, that is, if you limit your search to posts from the last 24 hours; you get 45 million hits if you don't limit by date. In comparison, with no date limitation, search Lady Gaga and you get 378 million results. What does that tell us? What does that tell you?
Dylan has written at least 400 songs that we know of, released over 50 albums, played more than 3,000 concerts, performed in front of Martin Luther King the day King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech, did a show with Pope John Paul II looking over his shoulder, sang one of his songs in tribute to Frank Sinatra, which made Frank cry, honored at the Kennedy Center, won a Grammy or two or three, a Golden Globe, a Pulitzer and an Oscar. He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature. He has not, however, sung (as far as we know) "Friday," the song made famous by Rebecca Black. You can't believe everything you see and hear on YouTube.
