Oops — MSNBC Erroneously Reports Bob Dylan Died, Apologizes

After having to apologize recently for a technical mistake that prompted a reporter to drop the f-bomb on air, MSNBC had to apologize again this weekend for an altogether different reason.

It seems MSNBC thought that Bob Dylan died last year, even though he's very much still alive at age 79.
