Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature

Inna,  I feel sorry for you if you find his lyrics "so-so" and not poetic.  I guess you realize you're in the minority here.  No other musician has ever received this award. 

Mapman, thanks for that.  You've reminded of a little-known Dylan work, "Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie,"  which you can read here:

or you can hear Bob himself read it aloud (which is better) here:

I'm pretty sure it's for his lyrics, not his music or his books.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not well-versed in either prose or poetry.  But I have noticed that Salman Rushdie and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, among others, are pretty pleased that Dylan was chosen.  But I'm sure Simao knows better...

bdp24, I remember that Grammy speech.  I was watching him and I was thinking he was too far gone to even say something coherent.  Then he sucker-punched me and knocked me out.  It was a tremendous performance. 
Did no one check out the "Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie" link posted earlier on this thread?  It's worth the time.

He's going to do something in Stockholm (I think it is) next year but was unable to attend this year on short notice,
