Dylan a straight up shit and a TERRIBLE lyricist.
Anyway, i thought the nobel prize was for a body of work, and Dylan has like one, arguably two decent albums.

Bob Dylan is a great artist.
Just because libcucks just destroyed the value of the Nobel Prize in "Literature" doesn't take away from that.
