  1. Reminds me of a couple of years back when I took my mum to the supermarket and a Dylan song was playing on the car stereo. Mum said “[I think this young man’s got a problem with his sinuses hasn’t he?]”.
    Magic moments.
    When I heard this bizarre news, I pictured legion passed-over poets, recoiling in collective horror, hurling quills across poetry caves across the globe, and vowing never to write again!

  3. Perhaps you should read the quality of the prose and poetry and not the voice. It’s a prize for literature isn’t it? Not singing. Dylan is a genius.

    • Your are 100% correct! His words have stood the test of time. His impact on culture is unparalleled.

      I can’t even imagine that anyone would have been a more appropriate as a choice for Jesus Christ to reveal himself in this age. Dylan has reached the ears of more people than any poet or religious leader.

  5. ignoring for a moment his voice, the Nobel is for literature. Dylan is a performer not a writer- voice, way of walking, taking a stage, moving to the music, composing and presenting, pulling an audience. It is my opinion perforrmance is another medium totally, and if they wish to give a Nobel for song-writer/performer, or even songwriter alone, fine with me. The product of a songwriter is music. In literature, music is only a tool. Take the music out of Shakespeare and there is no flow, no careful crafting of consonants and vowels. Take the music from Dylan and you get….?

    • look you cant expect a orange to be a apple. Did you ever say somethin dumb in your life i bet you listen to roxy music or some shit. i bet that roxy music go ooh ooh baby or some shit sometime

  12. I agree it’s an affront to serious writers and literature that they gave Dylan this award
    He neither wanted it nor deserved it
    He did not attend the ceremony and like a month later finally wrote his acceptance speech which basically explained why his songs are NOT literature
    The award should have gone to goldarn Dan Brown or James Patterson or JKRowling β€ΌοΈπŸŒˆπŸ“–πŸ₯’πŸš‰

  13. The ironic humor is caught in the rich tapestry of your prose. You have fantastic ability to use language so vividly. Anand Bose from Kerala
