Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature

An Audiogon member praises the, say, Audio Research pre-amp he owns, saying it in his opinion is the "best" pre-amp in the world. Do you ask him to convince you that such is the case or to explain why he thinks so, or do you listen for yourself, coming to your own conclusion? Whatta you care what he thinks, it's what you think that matters, right?

Dylan lyrics probably are not for everyone, as has been made clear by this thread. Seeing so many posters rag on Dylan just confirms my belief that there are more horses' butts in this world than horses.

Johnny Cash, another guy who couldn’t sing or play guitar "very well".

bdp24,
Are you serious?

To my way of thinking, the hyperbole that is the idea that Dylan is the greatest artist of the 20th century does no more than diminish his very real importance in the art world.  Likewise, the true significance of the award should be tempered by the acknowledgment of the inherent politizarion of the nomination process; this, best exemplified by the award of the Peace Price to a president who's achievements at the time of the award were largely only ideas which remain mostly unrealized.  Still, congrats, Bob.
