This should be an interesting one, as all the AntiDylanistas should come out of the wood work.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
The times, they are a changin....
Don’t know if this is in the proper spirit. Seems like Pulitzers go to those who dig out things we didn’t know about things that have large effect. Dylan sings and writes stuff we already know. Very well, but its not investigative journalsim.

Bob Dylan-Gotta Serve Somebody
Now, who are most people serving?
If Dylan ever learns to sing, there'll be no stopping him...
Dylan may be a great songwriter, but his voice reminds me of fingernails on a chalkboard.
Good. He deserves the prize. He is a genius and a national treasure.
Bob Dylan BUMP!
The Pulitzer people may be morons, but at least they got something right.
This year Dylan, next year Becker & Fagen...
Unfortunately, you can’t play any of those Prizes on your record player, not even on an 8-track, and you can’t read them. Which makes them all meaningless, me thinks, just like the Halls of Fame.
I'm kidding! I'm kidding!
Way to go, Bob!
Will the Soy Bomb dude be up onstage with him to collect his prize ?
When asked for comment, Mr. Dylan replied “WAHSzuh HurUUUNas WammbaHAUH!”
Way to go Mr. Zimmerman!
