In Reply to: RE: Bob Dylan Awarded 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature posted by Amphissa on October 13, 2016 at 10:24:14
His creativity is outstanding. Starting with his folk/rock in the '60's and then into alt country. If you've not heard and watched the video for "The New Basement Tapes" then you've missed out on a real musical treat. Wonderful lyrics from Dylan that were never recorded then given to some of our current wonderful musicians to write and record the music working collaboratively. The combination is just plain wonderful. Awesome.

His importance as a musician notwithstanding, this seems an unnecessarily quixotic decision.

"... only a very few individuals understand as yet that personal salvation is a contradiction in terms."
The Nobel committee needs to keep their prize relevant and recognized as significant by as many as possible, and giving it to a major celebrity from time to time helps them in that regard.
Also, the main purpose of such a prize should be recognizing achievement, not being one itself and not bringing recognition to the unjustly underappreciated in the field or giving cash to an author who needs it, though those are worthy secondary purposes, in my opinion.
