Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature


Awesome.   Best news I've read in a while.

really surprising, but well deserved. whatever you think of his body of work in musical terms, he's our greatest lyricist by a wide margin. i still enjoy reading his "lyrics-1962-1985," which work as poetry on their own terms.

As a matter of fact the wheels have stopped
What’s good is bad, what’s bad is good
You’ll find out when you reach the top
You’re on the bottom"

Congrats, Bob.   (I think).

Dylan music takes up the biggest shelf in my music collection. 50+ years, and still touring (at 75). Overdue, but well deserved. Congratulations!
Geof from what I've read I suspect one thing we would agree on is admiration for Bob Dylan.
