doublename Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 "Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday for work that the Swedish Academy described as “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” He is the first American to win the prize since Toni Morrison in 1993, and a groundbreaking choice by the Nobel committee to select the first literature laureate whose career has primarily been as a musician. Although long rumored as a contender for the prize, Dylan was far down the list of predicted winners, which included such renown writers as Haruki Murakami and Ngugi wa Thiong’o." https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/bob-dylan-wins-nobel-prize-in-literature/2016/10/13/d0c05ac4-90ea-11e6-a6a3-d50061aa9fae_story.html Maybe I will change my mind at some point, but at the moment this only deepens my hatred of baby boomers tbqh.

marf Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 put it on the shelf with the rest of them. Does any praise affect a star like this at this point? Constantly fawned over for 45 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
