"His gift or genius is in his connection to (...)"

Post by Tchocolatl »

'When people talk about Leonard, they fail to mention his melodies, which to me, along with his lyrics, are his greatest genius,' Dylan said. 'Even the counterpoint lines—they give a celestial character and melodic lift to every one of his songs. As far as I know, no one else comes close to this in modern music. His gift or genius is in his connection to the music of the spheres.'

Only for this, Bob Dylan should accept the Nobel.

Well. Of course. Mr. Dylan does not deserve it only for this. But.
