Bob Dylan get’s the Nobel Prize for Literature. Well, of course. Makes totally sense …
Not mocking Dylan’s skills and talent, but shouldn’t be this price for authors, not song-maker? People that actually create literature, not songs? Because if it’s fine to award this gifted song-maker, others would deserve this honor as well. But don’t we have enough really good, relevant authors every year that qualify for this price? Also, we have several awards and prices for musicians.
The fans agree of course, others mocking this decision. And rightly so I think. I read somewhere on twitter that the Nobel Prize for Chemistry should now go to Keith Richters. Well deserved I think and long overdue.
