How about this song from a lovelorn wittgensteinian? A better lyric than anything Dylan ever wrote!

probably doesn't belong on this thread but i have long been of the opinion that pynchon's songs HAVE TUNES -- sometimes i think he writes the words with an extant melody in mind (in the genre the song in question is meant to be) and sometime i wonder if he writes some of the melodies himself
(on ukulele and kazoo obv)

i have never been able to supply the tunes (or any tunes) but i feel tp is actually strongly encouraging us to do so

His songs are one of the most consistently dismaying things about his work.
― the pinefox, Saturday, 15 October 2016 20:19 (nine years ago)
lol whatever the opposite of consistently dismaying is, there we find the pinefox's stubborn resistance to the charms of pynchon
― mark s, Saturday, 15 October 2016 20:22 (nine years ago)
Teh pinefox otm. They usually remind me of that one scene in The Prisoner in which they sing "Dry Bones."
― Wigable Planet Waves (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 15 October 2016 20:24 (nine years ago)
perhaps they are like dylan in this respect and we need to hear someone singing them to grasp why they are great litereture

litereture is a derridean term obv

seems a bit harsh going after deems for not knowing the previous winners, i only have a vague idea of them because of an old FT project which never got anywhere: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/wedge/2005/10/freaky-trigger-best-of-lists-forlorn-idea-dept/
Well I don't know about you lot but I'm still working on it. Finding translations of the pre-WWII Nordic poets is a bit of a challenge.

My and Mark S's friend John W. speculates:Maybe, instead of appearing in person to accept his Nobel, Dylan is going to send several of the winners of WFMU's annual Bob Dylan Imitators Contest?I urged him to send this suggestion to bobdylan.com. Also, the definitive double-talk artist, Professor Irwin Corey, is now 102, according to Wikipedia, but if he feels up to it, would be a good recipient, seems like, considering the way he accepted the National Book Award for Pynchon:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-NBPpM--pY

Well, apparently he hasnt even bothered to respond to the nobel people, so this 'bold' choice is going well for them so far
