I'm a Dylan fan, but this is an ill conceived nostalgia award wrenched from the rancid prostates of senile, gibbering hippies.

You can imagine the scene on a farm just outside Stockholm.
"FFS! They can't even frame a budget until we put our tax returns in Benny what more can we do."
"Maybe rip some stuff off that's out of copyright and stop using hot chicks as vocalists Bjorn."

Re: Bob Dylan wins the Nobel prize for literature
Don't know what all the fuss is about. Bobby's not the first Singer to get that gong.
And from Thomas Mann to Bobby Zimmerman ...?
Well, we've had Pinter, Beckett & Dario Fo,
Alice Munro, Saramago and Saul Bellow.
Even Quasimodo. So...
Not so weird to go down Desolation Row.
From Sartre & Camus it's one short step
To All Tangled Up in Blue:
There's nothing really new
Under the Hard Rain, this Fall or any other.
Nobel obliges
Reel it in
It's only dark yet if we see
An unsheletered storm go on
From Winston Churchill to Julie Burchill
