Semalu Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 A well deserved honor. He writes poetry that speaks to everyone and was smart enough to put it to music. Here is a good summary of his work. http://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/bob-dylan-lyrics-nobel-prize-literature-1.3802933?cmp=rss Congratulations Bob, (BTW Ms. Meade in Montreal is still waiting for you to pay her back.... but something tells me her rights to the story may be priceless).

virgogirl Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Been listening to him on youtube all afternoon. The Times They Are a Changin'... just as relevant today. Timeless. One of the first songs I learned on guitar. Must see if can still play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semalu Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I expect this posting will die a quick death, but not before I thank you virgogirl. It is nice that at least one person recognizes a seminal moment in time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semalu Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 The Nobel prize committee seems to be re-inventing themselves as markers of fundamentals shifts (in time, thought, philosophy etc). I had nothing to do with the shift that Dillon and many like him helped to create, but I am certainly a product of that shift. For good or for ill, I thank them. PS: It was CAD$20, or twenty bucks...

virgogirl Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 When I was 16, I cleaned a pizza joint after hours, and they'd give you the juke box key. I'd loop those Dylan songs all night long. The vandal took the handle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bennie2 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 how come if i make an annoucement its sometimes off topic? i fail to see a connection here except if there was a local concert. once an american moviestar died & there were many comments. how do we figure out the "forum rules"? who makes that choice? you? just saying. btw, for me this is not world news.

bdmowers Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Forever Young. Is there a sweeter song of blessing in this whole wide world? Hard Rain`s Gonna Fall. Homer`s tales have a little bit of a roof over this song, but not much. Man Gave Names to All the Animals. Can you name a sweeter song for the wee ones? OK, Blowin` in the Wind. End of story.

moderator-2 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Well, I'm a huge Dylan fan and he is definitely from my time. But... This definitely has nothing to do with Mexico. Congratulations Sr. Dylan! Closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
