My dislike of Dylan and annoyance at the perpetual exaggeration of his (admitted) virtues and ignoring of his (near-constant) flaws aside, I can't argue with the award, which is obviously deserved. My main reaction is to be grateful it isn't a special poetry Pulitzer, which would have ground my teeth to stubs.

You've just reminded me of Joan Baez's probably-about-him lyric:

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who're so good with words
And at keeping things vague

Reminded me of the lyrics to a David Bowie song:

About a strange young man called Dylan
With a voice like sand and glue
Some words in truthful vengeance
Could pin us to the floor
Brought a few more people on
Put the fear in a whole lot more
