JumboXL Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Today we watched the dvd No Direction Home, for the 3rd time. A thunderstorm disturbed our summer evening over here in The Netherlands, so we went inside and sought some guaranteed satisfactory entertainment. Once more we were fascininated, and again with rising amazement, by Bob Dylan's artistry,musicality, intelligence, skill, drive and inspiration. We have seen him on stage two years ago, and we have his discography pretty much complete. It made us wonder: what is the status of the drive or movement to make Bob Dylan be awarded with the Nobel Prize in Literature ?? Surely he is a most serious candidate. My favourite line from His Bobness is: "And I have never gotten used to it, I just learned to turn it off...". That is from "If you see her, say hello". Second best is from Visions of Johanna: "When the jelly-faced women all sneeze, Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze I can't find my knees". Nobel Price in Literature for Bob Dylan, say "Yes", and for what phrase(s) ! May I have your votes, please...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udo Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 It made us wonder: what is the status of the drive or movement to make Bob Dylan be awarded with the Nobel Prize in Literature ?? Surely he is a most serious candidate. I think he (or somebody) would have to compile all of his poetry into one collection and then have that nominated. It's too late to nominate him for a song written in 1968, for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I´m a huge Dylan´s fan and most of his lines have been Bibles for me... I still think that Wislawa Szymborska deserves her Nobel better than Bob God Dylan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
