Bob Dylan Wins Nobel Prize for Literature!

[Madiel]

And that's exactly what's puzzling: "I don't really know or understand much about a particular poet's or musician's work", yet I still feel compelled to voice my opinion.

Well clearly you didn't read the rest of my post, because my stance is on ANY songwriter's capacity to win the Nobel. I can't help it if you're unable to think at one higher level of abstraction, but much of the discussion has been about whether or not a songwriter should win, not about whether a songwriter other than Bob Dylan would be a better choice.

And so my opinion is in support of a songwriter winning, not about whether or not Bob Dylan was specifically the right songwriter to win.
