It was announced today that folk musician Bob Dylan (legally
Robert Allen Zimmerman ) won a Nobel Prize for literature for "having
created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."
He has been described as “the voice of a generation” and “the
greatest living poet” by those who know. He is the only American to win a Nobel
Prize in 2016.
Whenever I hear Bob Dylan’s name mentioned, I think of the
“Dylan/Dylan” contest in “Dangerous Minds,” (1995) starring Michelle Pfeiffer.
“Mr. Tambourine Man” by Bob Dylan (1965) was prominently featured in the
movie, as the students contemplated the meaning of the lyrics and interpreted
the meaning of life.
Many of you may not remember Bob Dylan or even like his style of
music, but his voice is still powerful, through the generations. I am just
paying tribute to a living legend.
