Bob Dylan is the worst winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. Agree or disagree and why. If not him, who in your opinion is?

is he the greatest writer to ever win a nobel prize for literature?

What's the most /lit/ music?

>It's hidden far away but someday I may tell
>The tale of metal tangle when into your world I fell
>Without you now I wander soaking secretly afraid
>But in your grasp the fears don't last though some of them have stayed
>I wheeled around because I, I didn't hear what you had said
>And saw you dancing with Elihu up on Leemor's bed
>And I was foggy rather groggy, you helped me to my car
>The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jar
>And on the market stands unfolding with all their willies and their wares
>I shuffle by alert but numb to all the glances and the glares
>I think of you unheeding all the times I raise my cup
>It's now I know that you knew that I'd soon end up, end up

Thoughts on Dylan as writing? Was his Nobel Prize deserved?

>Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet
>We sit here stranded, though we all do our best to deny it
>And Louise holds her hands full of rain, tempting you to defy it
>Lights flicker from the opposite loft
>In this room the heat pipes just cough
>The country music station plays soft, but there's nothing really to turn off
>Just Louise and her lover so entwined
>And these visions, of Johanna, conquer my mind

>"Tangled Up in Blue" is one of the clearest examples of Dylan's attempts to write "multi-dimensional" songs which defied a fixed notion of time and space. Dylan was influenced by his recent study of painting and the Cubist school of artists, who sought to incorporate multiple perspectives within a single plane of view.
