Which Bob Dylan people?

all of them.

:) No, every year people put money on Bob Dylan to win the Literature Nobel, because they are morons

Somehow I doubt they are wagering more money on Mr. Zimmerman's chances than they can afford to lose. Which would make their wagers a bit less moronic and more a matter of enthusiastic advocacy, however misguided.

But it's advocacy which makes no difference since I doubt that the Nobel committee takes their instructions from unibet. And he won't ever win since he's a rubbish "writer". Hence: morons.

Sorry. Just that the cultural adulation of both Bob Dylan and Murakami makes me very cross.

Dylan deserves the Nobel Prize just for his painting

Go live and your tiny second bookshop, and we'll come visit when we can.

But stay out of your tiny record shop.

if a Nobel Prize for Song existed, Dylan would deserve it, I guess.

At least we have bonkers acceptance speech to look forward to, in which he will insult all and sundry.
― LL Cantante (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 13 October 2016 11:51 (nine years ago)
i actually have no problem with this. one of the most influential writers of the last century. for literary and extra-literary reasons.

A thousand think pieces about white male songwriters and I am a millennial and I don't like Bob Dylan being pitched right now
― duped and used by my worst Miss U (President Keyes), Thursday, 13 October 2016 12:02 (nine years ago)
My biggest fear is that the people who has lobbied for a songwriter to be considered a great poet will move on to try and get a scriptwriter recognized as a great dramatis. Woody Allen 2020, people. It's coming.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 13 October 2016 12:10 (nine years ago)
if you asked most of the people who are on those nobel-wannabe lists and people who are living who have one a nobel if he deserved to win one they would probably say: hell yeah!
especially poets of a certain age.

Dylan's lyrics are poor as poesy. The Nobel should have gone to Caetano Veloso.
