When Bob Dylan was announced as a winner of Nobel Prize for
Literature, it stirred a controversy among a section of population. He doesn’t
deserve the most prestigious recognition in the world, many said. While some
questioned the artist himself for his true qualification to become a Nobel
Laureate, others were questioning the committee’s decision of inducting him in the
high-profile of literature-untouchables; after all, he didn’t actually do
poetry.
If you really want to know the answer to this question, it’s
lot more complex than just ‘yes’ and ‘no’. There’s no denying that Bob Dylan is
one of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time. Talking about
everything from love and hate to war and injustice, his tunes have transformational
effect over everyone with ears to good music. His influence is unparalleled in
the current music and culture scene. To that, he has also won golden globe,
Oscar and Grammy. So of course, he’s way too credible to become a Nobel
Laureate.
In fact, “What took them so long,” wondered NYT Music Critic
Job Pareles.
However, there are also few of those who argue if Bob Dylan
really qualifies to be a part of group that includes the likes of Patrick
White, T.S. Eliot, Harold Pinter and Rabindranath Tagore. This argument can go
on and on with various opinions and technicalities.
The committee did something bold in giving Bob Dylan Nobel
Prize for Literature. It opened the door for a whole new crowd for this
prestigious award. And it’s great!!! Bob Dylan deserves this recognition.
Period.
