Since I have a blog and therefore must have an opinion, I say "pshaw" and "phooey" to this announcement*. (But I refuse to say "psoriasis" and "psychology".)
IMHO, in the last decade, Dylan has tried harder than before to distance himself from the whole "voice of a generation" business (though he did manage to write an autobiography of sorts) and get back to playing blues and rock 'n roll.
I hope the Pulitzer people remember that other award ceremony held in Bob's honor in 1970, especially his buddy David Crosby's words :)
*I will not be so dismissive when that Nobel finally drops in Bono's lap. And that's because I am bored by all the press he gets for his activism.

Ahh, Bono dissing. It has been a while, yes? Although, that said, we have nothing more to say....and that's all I'm going to say about that.
I said I was bored by the press he gets for his activism. I can still tolerate most of his pre-1987 albums :)
Philistine!
dickheads :-D

TR: I've often wondered how rock stars hang out with each other. Did Dylan call Crosby and say "Hey, man, I'm getting an award at Princeton. Want to come?"
I quite liked some of the stuff on 'Beautiful Day'. Don't sue me!
??!: No suing, I promise. But I can't promise no cruel mockery and no public taunting.
Oh, fine! But I can't promise no humming of "willlld honey".
bet crosby invited himself over.
i loved all that you can't leave behind.
y'all can start booing now.
TR: But what if Neil wanted to go and Bob had room for only one more person?
space bar: BOOOOOOOO! :D
Read this in a Guardian Blog comments section some weeks back(cant find the link to the post now):
"I saw U2 in 1982 or something in Bournemouth. Bono climbed up a big speaker stack and waved a white flag about. I clearly remember thinking, This guy is a wanker, I hope he falls off."
:D
