I don't follow you, Roger. I was responding to something Claudia said.

America's greatest poets of the 20th Century, Frost and Stevens, remain unhonoured. That seems to me a scandalous thing. Don't you think so?

Incidentally, it appears Tagore was a singer/songwriter, though I don't know anything else about him, so Dylan is not the first in that line to get the gong. O hell, old Zimmerman's OK. Like everybody else in the 1960s I used to have the LP and Mr Tambourine Man is jolly good.

After the 60s and the break-up of the Beatles, I rather lost interest in that sort of thing. I mean you can have 3 minutes of Mozart, that trio from Cosi Fan Tutte, for the same money.
