Right,
So Bob Dylan has won a Nobel prize, for literature no less, and I feel like flinging a Tagore book at the goddamn Nobel committee.
But isn't it the same committee that gave Obama a Nobel peace prize too? So really is it that odd to expect something as stupid from them?
Nobel is a farce, at least when it comes to peace and now literature. I can't say the same about science and other fields, but yes, literature prize for Dylan? Come on! Yeah he's written some good lyrics (I guess, I'm not one of Dylan fans nor do I bother listening to his songs) but surely they don't warrant a bloody NOBEL.
I mean, I've seen blogs with more philosophical bearing and better poems (ahem!)
Kawabata must be rolling in his grave, and I like Dylan a lot lesser now.
