   Bob Dylan wins two Grammys

   Bob Dylan, whose latest chart-topping release failed to secure a Grammy   
   nomination for the coveted album of the year, picked up two consolation   
   prizes at the awards ceremony on Sunday.   
      
   The rock icon's "Modern Times" was named best contemporary folk/Americana   
   album.   
      
   His composition "Someday Baby," used for an iPod television commercial last   
   year, also won for solo rock vocal performance. But the tune lost the rock   
   song race to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dani California."   
      
   Dylan was not present at the ceremony to receive the statuette.   
      
   His career haul stands at 10. He previously won the contemporary folk Grammy   
   in 1998 for "Time Out of Mind," which was named album of year, and in 2002   
   for "Love and Theft," which was nominated for the top album prize.   
      
   He won the rock vocal Grammy in 1980 for his gospel tune "Gotta Serve   
   Somebody."   
      
   "Modern Times," his first album since "Love and Theft," debuted at No. 1 on   
   the U.S. pop charts last September. At 65, Dylan became the oldest living   
   person to achieve this feat.
