Bob Dylan took to his Facebook page late Tuesday night for the first time ever to say he was right about his prediction President Barack Obama would be re-elected.

The iconic singer -- who has had a Facebook page (with more than 4 million fans) for a while but has never directly posted an update from himself -- referenced something he said in Wisconsin the day before about how the election is "going to be a landslide."

"Here's pretty close to what I said last night in Madison," Dylan's message said. "I said from the stage that we had to play better than good tonight, that the president was here today and he’s a hard act to follow. Also, that we’re not fooled by the media and we think it’s going to be a landslide. That’s pretty much all of it."

Nearly 31,000 Facebook fans liked the post and more than 2,000 commented. Dylan's posts typically receive a lot of likes and comments, but they usually include tour information, links to articles or album details.
