Brightening spirit within the dancing coloured lights when the words will not reveal their mystery in their memories of twinkling feelings

Bob Dylan and the Nobel Prize for Literature
Bob Dylan, and the Nobel Prize for Literature: A great music Icon, wrote his 'protest' songs in the mid sixties, when it was cool to do so. He was something of an actor, embracing, something that wasn't really in his heart, and in recent times, has just about said the same. Phil Ochs wrote better social comment, and actually believed in what he was writing and singing. As for 'Literature,' the people who are responsible are guilty of misrepresenting Literature, by awarding this accolade to a much acclaimed songwriter, thereby dismissing the efforts of those truly involved in writing for the page. I hope the Masons, of which Bob is one, had nothing to do with this. I rest my case.
