It's true that Gord did not want the Hall of Fame award - one reason was he wanted Dylan to present it to him. Another was he didn't feel it was the right time. He was self conscious about it - uncomfortable with that sort of accolade at that point in his career and life.
I think Dylan made a boob of himself and certainly could have said something at least a bit endearing to Gord while on stage. I am glad that Gord's humbility (humility and humbleness) came through in the speech afterward and showed Dylan to be an egocentric, selfish fool.
