Leonard Cohen "you want it darker" - MFS - 03-11-2016
Did you know mr Dylan has been criticised in media over here. Some of the members of the Nobel committee were somewhat confused and, as I read between the lines, also disapointed due to the fact that the prize winner kept silent for a long time after the announcement... As I understand it now he has told media he will come to Stockholm to recieve the award...
I'm also curious on what you think of the pick of him as a winner... The motivation was "... for having created new poetic expressions within the great american song tradition..."
Didn't know before this happened that he also has released more than one book...

we did have a thread somewhere in regards to him winning a Nobel Award....
I think that anyone who has followed Dylan's career for a fair while would know he is a man of few words.
I think he deserved the award, he is a lyrical/poetic icon IMO, and as the guy has told everyone a million times over his career, he is a poet who puts poetry to music, he is not a singer, so in that respect, yes he qualifies for the award.

the album rockets back from #29 up to #7 in the UK this week following his death,
am expecting it to do the same in AU/US/CAN this week also.
