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.

A thousand think pieces about white male songwriters and I am a millennial and I don't like Bob Dylan being pitched right now

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.

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.

"Dylan's lyrics are poor as poesy. The Nobel should have gone to Caetano Veloso."
they are songs though, not poems. his lyrics work great as song lyrics. and caetano hearts dylan so hard!
― scott seward, Thursday, 13 October 2016 12:46 (nine years ago)
this is bullshit - books get little enough exposure as it is without giving this award to dylan. i like his music but the entire idea of lyrics as poetry or literature is a fallacy.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, 13 October 2016 13:33 (nine years ago)
if books meed more exposure their writers should set them to music tbh
