The Nobel committee is unable to get Bob Dylan to claim the damn thing for literature. I’m torn between what amuses me more: the effrontery toward the Nobel or a chance to document the nastiness of divo-Dylan.

I don’t take a position on his talents since I haven’t listened to him since his early music. Gravelly-voiced cranks aren’t my style. There are just so many wonderful women singers around the world where attitude problems are not an issue & one can just enjoy the music.
