<P class=MsoNormal>From: Norman Vickers<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>OK. So Bob Dylan, in an unusual nomination, receives
Nobel Prize for literature!<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Now that’s a first—one who’s known primarily for his
music ( such as it is) gets a literary prize as THE best!<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>What’s next? Donald Trump gets the prize for
chastity?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I must say that, as a member of the older generation, I
didn’t venerate any of the musical or lyrical compositions of
his.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Sometime approx. ’78 or ’79, Dylan put on a one-man show
locally at the University of West Florida’s field-house. My (then) young
son and I went. He sang, played guitar and at one point played guitar and
had a neck-piece to hold his diatonic harmonica. I must say that I was
unimpressed and we left about halfway through his show. I confess that I
didn’t listen to enough of the rest of his material to be able to evaluate his
lyrics.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Note that I still like Woody Guthrie, Pete
Seeger, Burl Ives so it’s not the genre that I <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>am unappreciative, it’s that what little I’ve heard of Dylan
has failed to generate interest for me.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts? What have I missed that the Nobel
committee was enthralled with?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
