I definitely missed it; what was Veeky Forums's reaction to Bob Dylan being awarded the Nobel?
And, I guess, discuss your favorite works by him. Blonde on Blonde is my favorite album, but Desolation Row is a wild wild song. Was Allen Ginsberg's favorite too.
Well,he deserved it I guess.
A song like ''Hurricane'' or ''Subterranean Homesick Blues'' are true pieces of literatura at my point of view.
Alson,the Nobel was more like a tribute in life for him.
How many times must be a man be meme'd, before you can give him the prize?
His lyrics aren't that good. Should have gone to Leonard Cohen (RIP)
Shakespeare, he's in the alley! With his pointed shoes and his bells, speaking to some French girl, who says, she knows me well...
I do prefer Dylan's songs in general to Cohen's though btw
Fuck Bob Zimmerman and fuck Swedish people
Dumb publicity stunt, almost as bad as their peace prizes.
Swedes being Swedes again.
Nothing wrong with giving it to a musician, but there are many 20th century authors who "deserve" it more than Dylan. Fortunately awards like this are bullshit, so it doesn't really matter.
it was pretty gay. an insult to musicians and poets at the same time
Old walt whitman in a ten gallon hat is hangin out on the roooiookoaaaddd

laughed harder than i should've
Boy, that day. Mu memed lit to the bone. I hope someone has screens of that day.
there was like two days of relentless shitposting, then the occasional thread, and by the time he actually got the award and sent a sweet note to accept it everyone had forgotten about it
kek
good shit
Boomers need to die.
For me, Blood On The Tracks is his best album. I find that it actually has a purpose as well as a presence of raw emotion behind it, which is something that is lacking amidst the nonsensical wails of some of his other albums.
That said, although i think that Bob is decent (a good performer too), giving him the nobel prize for literature has definately damaged the credibility of the award in general.
It was on fire, basically. /mu/ had some fun, too.
