Bob Dylan is the first songwriter to win the Nobel Prize for literature

from the other thread:

the analysis ITT is more well thought-out than over there. I guess I was thinking more as @aLynHall (albeit from a more naive perspective) but @gellfex made a good point [quote=“gellfex, post:28, topic:87362”]
it needs to be balanced with “the tree falls in the forest”. The Science Nobels don’t honor well done but irrelevant works. They honor the ones that have become the building blocks of science. Dylan’s work was a building block of postwar world culture.
