Awesome.   Best news I've read in a while.

Perhaps it has been noted and I missed it. Read the words of Johnny Cash about Dylan on the back of the Nashville Skyline LP.
I certainly am no literary scholar, but I think I am safe in in agreeing with simao that Dylan is no Dante and will probably not be read in 2000 years or even be remembered. Will any Nobel winner, for literature or otherwise, be remembered in 2000 years, including the 2009 winner of the peace prize? I can't imagine so.
On second thought my previous post may be wrong. Perhaps the 2009 Nobel peace prize winner may be remembered as being in the eighth circle of The Inferno in Bolgia 5.
