Loved Dylan from the first time— back in the 60’s—his songs started being played on the local rock station. Have the Blonde on Blonde album; sure wish I’d not let go of some earlier ones.
His words are real poetry, and I was really amazed, and happy, when he recently received a Noble prize for literature!
Nobel Prize.
I thought that was great too and that he really deserved the Nobel. Somebody once asked him about the “meaning” of one of his songs, and he said, “I dunno...the words just sounded good together and that’s what I wanted to say.“
So that’s a real poet. The words gave you a picture, an image, that had no political or other meaning but was his poetic vision. The poet’s vision is the world drawn verbally. So that’s why he deserved the Nobel..
I’m going to have to check out the new album.
