That is your opinion, and yet again your opinion is so wildly outside of what most music fans agree on. You often just seem so disconnected from reality.
Dylan has written some amazing stuff in the last 20 years. Time Out of Mind, the entire album is brilliant with some of his best writing. Also, don't forget his Autobiography Vol. 1, which was considered universally as brilliant. Congrats Dylan! A true American musical genius.

The man who shaped modern music and dragged it kicking and screaming away from Tin Pan Alley and into the streets. Everyone including the Stones, The Beatles, The Who and Springsteen owe him for that.

I'm a massive Bob fan but isn't it ironic to give the litterature Nobel Price to a guy who wrote one book (Tarantula) and not a good one btw.

Yes, but what do they think of his singing?
Nothing, they just read to each others a compilation of his lyrics... ><

Grotesque.
For what reason? Please explain.
He hasn´t wrote a single line to deserve this honour in the past three decades.
He´s written good lyrics in the 60s/early 70s, but even that wouldn´t qualify him.

This is a strong stance against Donald Trump from a very Swedish and very political prize committee. I'm absolutely positively 4 sure about this.

I think Bob Dylan is a fantastic song-lyric-writer. So is Chuck Berry. And Tom Waits. And Nick Cave. But it's not literature. It's song lyrics.
