    ahem... back on topic :P
    Someone at aa had this response to a post on Mr. Zimmerman's good fortune:
    Too bad no one will understand his acceptance speech.

    That is true at so many levels (assuming Zimmy even shows up/accepts the award).

    A bunch of aging white guys gathered around one of those, mostly obsolete spinners, with their 60's and 70's collections, turned to each other and cried out:

    I'm a Dylan fan and he has written some interesting lyrics over the years. My problem with this award to him is that I thought the Nobel prize was for recent accomplishments. This is sort of like somebody getting the lifetime achievement award and there are certainly much more deserving writers of recent history.

    Perhaps before Dylan, consideration should have been given to Gil Scott-Heron ?
    "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised".

    What a masterpiece.
    ..... and I'll shut up. o:)

    True.

    I think about that piece whenever we're treated to smartphone footage of... uprisings. When the f e c e s really acquire angular momentum ("hit the fan" -- get it), don't be counting on real-time twitter coverage.

    there's also the Steampunk variation, though...

    ^^Brilliant.

    There's another tribute version on YT called, "The Revolution Will Not Be Digitized".
    It is a poetic work of art also:

    He (Dylan) coulda writ 'n' recorded naught but "Desolation Row", and I'd still view him as a major contributor to the ethos of the "modern era". Just thought I'd mention that.
