Andrew--I'm curious to know whether your "come on" stems from either of these two objections, which seem to me the obvious ones to have regarding Dylan's prize:
Popular song isn't "Literature."
or
Dylan's work isn't "great" enough.
As a great Dylan fan with more lines of his in my head than of any other poet, I don't share either, but I think they're interesting points to discuss. I'm actually thrilled for the guy. And relieved: seeing his picture and the words "breaking news" at the top of the cnn website this morning, I supposed something else might have occurred and was overwhelmingly sad for a second or so.
He's playing Vegas tonight, so he's probably there or at home in Malibu. Do you think he knows yet?
