Legendary folk singer Bob Dylan has embraced life as an honorary Texan after he was handed the title by former U.S. President George W.

BUSH.

The former Texas governor bestowed the honor before he took on the presidency in 2000, and the notoriously private star admits he's still delighted to have been singled out by Bush.

As far as blaming the last president, think of it this way the same folks who held him in such high regard came to despise him.Bob Dylan

He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I think you really have to be a Texanto appreciate the vastness of (the state) and the emptiness of it. But I'm an honorary Texan. George Bush, when he was governor, gave me a proclamation that says I'm an honorary Texan. As if anybody needed proof. It's no small thing. I take it as a high honor".

And Dylan, famous for his outspoken political views, refuses to criticize the former U.S. leader, insisting Bush cannot be blamed for the country's current economic difficulties.

He adds, "None of us really knew what was happening in the economy. It changed so quickly into a true nightmare of horror. As far as blaming the last president, think of it this way the same folks who held him in such high regard came to despise him. People are fickle".
