Bob Dylan wins the Literature Nobel Prize
 

Probably the only piece of news I will ever post on GFY.

The literary genius (that has a little to do with good plagiarism) of Bob Dylan is rightly acknowledged:

Dylan's 1966 album "Blonde on Blonde" (nothing to do with the porn niche) was what's got me into him, and this article recommends it for anyone who isn't familiar with his work.

that guy is a pussy. cant even go by his real name

I didn't see that coming - It's a very interesting choice - I approve though...

i think i see every week/month a new nobel prize winner.
How many tens of thousands are there by now?

I am happy about this :pimp

Music was just a media for Bob Dylan's poetry.

Dylan is not a musical genius. Nobody hums his music -- but people do reflect on and quote his words.:2 cents:

Unexpected but great news

Well said :thumbsup!

I wonder what Bob thinks about this.

Everybody, even the Nobel Prize Committee, gets stoned.

Obama for peace. Bob Dylan for literature. What's next? Snoop Dogg for chemistry?

From a recent acceptance speech:

"These songs didn't come out of thin air. I didn't just make them up out of whole cloth. Contrary to what Lou Levy said, there was a precedent. It all came out of traditional music: traditional folk music, traditional rock & roll and traditional big-band swing orchestra music."

"Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned."

In other news Singer/Songwriter Rod Stewart was Knighted by the Queen yesterday.


(for real)

Very well deserved. He's been writing about the times we live in for decades.

To help people make sense of it

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh ...

I personally think people like him to be different and edgy. It's like in conversation piece to impress other people to be eclectic.

dammit, I posted in the Chaturbate thread, not knowing you'd created this one.

So anyways...he got the award because he's Jewish. They get so many awards, they must be totally awesome!!

and next year let's hope Rihanna wins it for that what that goes something like

Work, work, work, work, work, work, He say me have to, Work, work, work, work, work, work! He see me do me Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt! So me put in Work, work, work, work, work, work When you all gon'? Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn Me no care if him Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting

Stephen King could learn a lot from Dylan and Rihanna

Just went through some of his tunes on YouTube, the guy seems pretty average, I feel annoyed at the fact I've just wasted some of my life

^^ Highway 61 Revisited album isn't there in its entirety unfortunately. ^^

Pretty good

Hmm, interesting
