Like you I'm torn on this issue of lyrics as literature, but I also feel Bob Dylan does inhabit both worlds. <br /><br />I'm grateful that you shared your experiences with listen to Dylan's music while you were in Cuba. It reminds me how lucky I was to be able to walk into a record store anytime I wanted and buy one of his albums. <br /><br />And one of my favorite Dylan lines comes from a later work called "Tight Connection to My Heart"--"What looks large from a distance, close up ain't never that big."

Leonard Cohen's Suzanne was published as a poem before it was made into a song and it is so much less without the music. I mean i can only read those words with the melody running through my head along with them.

It seemed such a renegade thing to do and I admired her for getting that curriculum passed...in the mid 60's! I'm sure she had to fight for it. No one ever missed the class. She was a Joni Mitchell type person (looks and vibe)and became a bit of a cult figure to young, hungering teenagers.<br />She taught the class as poetry. Not from the angle of Dylan as a musician, but for the message and rhythm of his writing. So I've always thought of him as a poet. I'm glad he won and it seems appropriate to his words and his personality that he would not prize prizes.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-26414399364080544742016-10-30T17:22:28.115+00:002016-10-30T17:22:28.115+00:00I am glad you like and appreciate Bobby Dylan, CiL...I am glad you like and appreciate Bobby Dylan, CiL. A couple of thoughts:<br /><br />I frequently have written that I think music lyricists, especially those since World War II and, most particularly, those of the rock era, have replaced the poets of "yesteryear" in the sense of stirring surreal emotions through words. I guess that would define how I feel about Dylan receiving a Nobel under any literary circumstances: Terrific !! Right on, man !!<br /><br />Dylan himself is a symbolic icon approaching a religious context and exists on a mythical plane like no other living musician (or writer), and pretty much has since he left Minnesota for New York in 1961. One of my daughters has seen him perform around twenty-five times (maybe thirty by now, since he seems always to be on tour); I have been to more than a few of his concerts, including an occasion where he simply walked unannounced into a "local" saloon, the doors were locked and he took to the stage for an hour or two for an audience of about fifty .... sort of a right place at the right time thing, but not really ....<br /><br />And, just as with Boston and Lynyrd Skynyrd and some few others, I remember when and where I was and who I was with the first time I heard a Dylan song. It really hit me at the moment. Still does ....<br /><br />So, CiL, as Dylan wrote: "May you stay forever young ...."Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-58249995739115763842016-10-30T14:14:17.387+00:002016-10-30T14:14:17.387+00:00He has an important part to play because of his ac...He has an important part to play because of his activism.
