Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. About 40 years too late . But maybe the times they are a changing.

Fantastic song writer about the times he lived through, although he didn't believe a word in the things he wrote about

Also, music isn't literature. Why didn't they give him the Physics one?

Arguably one of the best lyricists around and many would say, the best. Has written many great songs and poems. A long overdue award me thinks. Doesn't possess the greatest singing voice, but he still and always will steam roller over todays crop of mediocre, wet flannel, whanabe Dylans. Ed Sheeran in 40 years time anyone?? Jeez, I bloody well hope not!

There aint half been some clever bastards.

I agree that he's an unbelievably good lyricist but lyrics for music are just that - they're not literature. I don't begrudge him, though. He's a force of nature and a force for good.

Rarely for you Brian, you're talking out of your arse. Lyrics are poetry: nothing more, nothing less.

Nope. With Brian on this. Love Dylan, seen him a couple of times, plenty of albums, book of his lyrics (which I think are superb). But it's a different discipline.

I am still Steve but no longer in Dagenham.

Thesre's a point. I thought some of Bowies lyrics were superb so I wonder will he be next. Who knows would the likes of Dizee Rascal come in for contention. In fact I would have thought that rap or grime in this case is nearer to poetry than folk music.

Dylan always said he was a poet.

The lyrics to -- "Love Minus Zero - No Limit." - "Idiot Wind," - "Tangled Up In Blue," "It Ain't Me Babe," and "Visions Of Johanna" beats anything that Shakespeare knocked out.

The times they are going full circle maybe. Some square bearded Sumerian with a lyre banging on about the martial feats of King Tulip wouldn't be too far from The Jack of Hearts.

Interesting that even now he still hasn't acknowledged the award. Lack of respect, humility or just uneasy with the award?!

Be interesting to see what he says and does on December 10...
