Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature

djcxxx,

I doubt that Dylan would have gone to DC to accept this award if he felt the way you express.

IMHO, inna has some issue that prevents him from accepting what most others hear when listening to Dylan. That's ok, but there are some things like art/music that transcend explanation. If you don't get it, (as bdp24 said), that's OK. Asking one to explain what (moves) another in any art form is a hard, maybe impossible task. Even then, it is person specific. It's the meaningful, thoughtful way of expressing a song, the grasp of the subject matter and relating it in a song. It is Dylan's voice, that has moved so many throughout decades of our history in a relevant way that I find meaningful even more as I grow older. What moves me will not likely move someone else in the same way.

inna wrote, "Would you recommend a couple of albums, I only heard him once long time ago", & Debily,blayd'.

I think the more important question that needs addressing is, why a member has formed a years long, (maybe life long), opinion based on hearing an artist "once". Then requires another member to go into a more detailed explanation of why this member's reasoning for supporting Dylan's work should be relevant?

I could not base a formative opinion on any artist based on listening only once. That's just me, I guess.

(What does "Debily, blayd'" mean?) Not that your response would be of much importance based on that two word statement, but may help me understand any future posts you make.

Sarcasm. Is this a rational response to someone's post? Does sarcasm have on it's own merit, a place on these forums as a rational, effective response to any kind of discourse?

Please rate your response to this as:

(1) I agree that sarcasm should be a sufficient response to any post made. Having accepted this form of response, I also agree that this form of response stands as the ultimate definition of what my point is and that I can't make or conceive any other form of another reasonable, rational counterpoint.

(2) I agree that sarcasm should have no place as a response to any post made.

Let the voting begin.

and?...
