Dear DaSwede - Would love to see Bob Dylan win the Nobel prize for literature after all the pictures and words he has given us this past 45 years.
The writer Wllly Vlautin would also be on my short list for the best three minute novel of all time, ie his song "The Welhorn Yards," which his band Richmond Fontaine feature on their album "The Fitzgerald."
Hi starmack, yeah like that's gonna happen. But we did give Bob Dylan the quite prestigious Polar Music Prize in 2000, you know. If I remember correctly the ceremony seemed to be an ordeal to him... but nevermind that, he should have it and it's a good thing he got it.
As for your other candidate, I can't find the lyrics on the internet, so the jury's still out on that one!
