Asked about Nobel for Dylan: inspired & original choice. his haunting music & lyrics have always seemed, in the deepest sense, "literary."

Bob Dylan is a great choice for the Nobel Prize. One result might be to open the prize to genre fiction as well as the 'literary' sort.

I'm a Dylan fan, but this is an ill conceived nostalgia award wrenched from the rancid prostates of senile, gibbering hippies.

From Orpheus to Faiz,song & poetry have been closely linked. Dylan is the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition.Great choice. #Nobel

I totally get the Nobel committee. Reading books is hard.

I like Dylan, but this is fucking preposterous. How many songwriters from other countries have won? https://t.co/2QEzukgZB1
