Bob Dylan Awarded Nobel Prize in Literature
The first musician to win the award. Yay Bob!!
I don't know if he deserved it more than other writers; but he certainly deserved it more than any other musician.
That's a good point. I'm a big fan of Murakami who was a favourite. But nothing will stop him getting it in a future year (except dying). I think it's a good acknowledgement that unique written qualities can be present in modern music. And that Dylan is the best encapsulation of this.
