Thread Name: Dylan to be awarded Medal of Freedom
Subject: RE: Dylan to be awarded Medal of Freedom
Meh, Dylan's ok. He has written, recycled and (allegedly) misappropriated some good stuff over the years. He has entertained me and I readily confess to singing the occasional Bob song in sessions and gigs, but there has been more than a little of the absurd elevation and Emperor's-New-Clothes about him.
As has already been observed, awards are nonsense. There is usually an agenda, aside from merit, in their distribution.
What to say about this one? Just "Meh", I guess.
