Totally blown away by the news that Dylan wins the Nobel Literature prize. Brilliant, an inspiration, and a great and true Troubador.
Bit of a slow start but it is the Dead backing him.
Congratulations Bob.

Re: Congratulations Bob.
Nothing against Bob but…..The lyric hides it,s weakness through melody while prose has to be strong enough to withstand the vacuum of it,s own existence. judges are reaching here ,He,s know Norman mailer,Keats.

Re: Congratulations Bob.
Macky, Homer and Sapphos wrote lyrical texts to be performed, and here we are 500 years later still enjoying them. So time must be the real judge.
Sure I agree Mailer was/is a good candidate, but are they awarded posthumously? I'm not sure they are.
Norman Mailer once said, "If Dylan's a poet, I'm a basketball player." Miserable old fucker.

What a long strange trip it is.
