I just heard on the Swedish radio that Bob Dylan is rewarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 2016.

Wow! That's pretty awesome. Have they ever awarded that to a songwriter? There's no denying the power and originality of his writing.

As far as i read, first musician to receive a noble prize for literature

Yeah, he's the first musician to receive the award for lyric writing.

 

I think it great that the Nobel committee is willing to expand the definition of what's considered high-quality literature.
