He won it for "poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".
So basically, **** knows.

Some people can't accept liking pop music without having to imbue it with literary merit. Such people are knobs.

He also asked how many times the cannonballs had to fly approximately a century after everyone had stopped using cannonballs.

Lyrically I love Idiot Wind

She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me

Right. That's why songs about getting beered up and snogging birds rarely win prizes.

I always liked
I've been meek
And hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive friends will disappear
If you want me,
Honey baby I'll be here.
but in the same song he had the appalling lines
"Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain't no monkey but I know what I like"
...which rather ruined things.

'dropping a barbell he points to the sky and says 'the sun's not yellow, it's chicken' - or something close to that, anyway.
Always liked that one, Tombstone Blues, I think. Possibly Highway 61 Revisited, one of the first albums I ever bought.
Oh for the days when you looked forward to someone's latest album, rushed out to buy it and then listened to it endlessly. :-(

He was too prophetic and visionary to be relevant, imo. His ideas seem old hat even now.

He's such a teacher's pet. I believe they should give it to Zeppelin. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones on base, and John Bonham on drums (posthumously awarded).

Nick Cave is one example of a geniunely good writer in popular music. Some of his Birthday Party lyrics, and on From Her to Eternity were superb. And of course he was eventually a Penguin-published novelist.

I would heartily recommend his latest, Skeleton Tree. Bearing in mind the tragedy which happened during the recording, it is a truly remarkable piece of work, if not particularly easy listening.

Aah, the murder ballad. Such a shame that inner city darkies get all the blame for that honest and ancient lyrical and poetic custom nowadays, when really it was the Scots and the Germans wot invented and popularised it.
It's racial prejudice gone mad, I tell you! I blame Tipper Gore.

Dylan is a very talented songwriter, although I've never really liked his singing. But if anyone in the business merited consideration for this it was surely Leonard Cohen. His poetry will stand the test of time even if his novels are unreadable.

Yes, singing is a generous word for it. Good shout about old Len.
