Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature

Czar, many others around the world as well I am sure, but well, I live in America, so I am certainly not qualified to judge other countries artistic icons, nor who qualifies most for an international award. I can only speak for my guys, and Dylan is one of those. Apparently others overseas feel the same.

Frogman, thanks for that. Hope I didn’t mangle my choices too much. :^)

My son is doing overseas studies in St. Petersburg Russia this semester.  I'm looking forward to asking him what he may have observed about such things from that perspective when he returns.

I missed Dylan’s recent album of Frank Sinatra covers. Maybe the Nobel committee can consider recognizing Ol Blue Eyes the next time around.

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

The Nobels for peace and literature have been on the downhill for the last two decades and Dylan himself would likely agree.

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.

djcxxx,

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