Bob Dylan has been awarded the 2016 nobel prize in literature. The decision has been criticized by some, but I say well done to him. His poetry has brought joy to more people than some of the other jokers who have won the award.

Seconded from out here on desolation row Time for a thread on Bob's best lines? "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"? "The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face"?

It's not literature. It's not poetry either. It's songwriting. Bizarre.
Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers |
