Bob Dylan - Nobel prize for literature

[jalimon]

This is quite refreshing to see Bob Dylan receiving the nobel prize for literature!

I learned to love folk music listening to him over and over. I still have an old tape of a 1970 show with Bob Dylan and the Band!

As a french, I do not master english at all. Still I always loved his lyrics. He had no voice but made it big. Were far far far and away from Justin Beiber here folks

Hats off to Bob!

Cheers,

During my hippie years living in the McGill ghetto I would drop acid while listening to Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan.
If you would have told me back then that he would win a Nobel Prize I would have laughed my ass off.
Now I realize that he damn well deserves it

It's an incredible accomplishment and well deserved by an American cultural icon.

He is Canadian

He is Canadian

I think you confusing him with Neil Young. That is ok, another genius. With some acid, mushroom or pot, I mix them up a lot over the years

Cheers,

Actually Dylan was born in Minnesota and is 1000% American

Maybe he meant Leonard Cohen who was born in Montreal.

I thought he grew up in cote st Luc , a small Jewish community in Montreal , but perhaps not

Actually Dylan used to play at a coffee house on Sherbrooke st near Park, called the Green Door. Loved those times !

Park or Parc south of Pine is called Bleury if anyone is interested.

He grew up in a Jewish community in Hibbing, Minnesota and at some point moved to Minneapolis according to the wiki bio. Minnesota is in the USA, not Canada.

He was a hack. Nobel just keeps sinking lower and lower... well maybe not that much seeing as Nobel was an arms manufacturer, a dealer of death. Another worthless, hack.

Obama won a peace prize, right? From 'Nobel'? :lol::lol:

Oh, so many scumbags.

"Rambling out of the wild west
Leaving the towns I love best
Thought I'd seen some ups and down
'Till I come into New York town
People going down to the ground
Building going up to the sky."

This degenerate shit wins a prize given out by another degenerate... hahahahahahahaha
