    I’ll admit, he deserves it.
    He’s one of the best poets of our time.

    It’s too bad he tried to sing so much.

    Hendrix’s version of “All Along the Watchtower”… the greatest rock and roll recording ever made? Yes, says I.

    SteveBrooklineMA,

    Dylan has done the Hendrix version of “Watch Tower” at every concert of his I have been to since ’74.

    Yes. It is great.

    el Presidente Backpack Aroma won a Nobel Peach Prise. The whole Nobel charade is nothing but a liberal circle jerk for Norwegians and New York Times readers, even if it does occasionally select somebody with real merit.

    One of the best, yes, I’ll agree. Certainly better than most of the Nobel Prizes in Literature of recent years. But, still – if you are going for musicians, there were others back then equally as good.

    Oh – Happy Birthday, and many more returns of the day. (Keep breathing.)

    Kathy, I’d say Ray Davies deserves it at least as much as Dylan, if we’re talking songs as poetry.
    IMO, his stuff stands up better as poetry if you take out the music.

    Dylan wrote _The Ballad of the Hurricane_. There should be an ignoble for that piece of crap.
