I am pleased he won the award but then I'm not educated and modern poetry is generally incomprehensible to me. Finally a winner where I don't have to trust the opinions of experts as to the validity of the recipient. I. Sorry the committee are hurt regarding his response. Frankly I'm surprised that they didn't anticipate it. Be like expecting Einstein to show up with a nice haircut.
Yep, Dylan has long been notorious for being oblivious to the social graces and focused on music. If you think Mozart as portrayed in Amadeus, then you wouldn't be far off the mark.
