Yeah, I just saw that on TV. I have had some reservation about the Nobel prize in recent years. The Nobel prize has changed in presentation choices and taken flack for it's politics and reasoning from many including the Nobel family. Without elaborating, for example, the literature award has been criticized of promoting the western world's point of view. Regardless, I believe that Robert Allen Zimmerman will be considered world wide as more than deserving. Truly a great acknowledgement for a gifted poet of our time. The Nobel prize has once again become viable.

Congrats, Bob.

I'm not sure I'm ready to call short pop music lyrics "literature", though.
I guess an album can be seen as a pamphlet collection of short poems?

I'd rather listen to him read than hear him sing.

I once played some Dylan for my cats on the bedroom stereo and in gratitude, one of them pissed on my pillow.

:lol:

Their opinion of Willie Nelson is similar.
