Das ist ja toll! Darauf habe ich schon soo lange gewartet und nicht mehr dran geglaubt.
Glückwunsch Bob!
Nur die Konzerte werden vielleicht jetzt teurer. Aber wann hat man schon mal einen Nobelpreisträger vor sich!
Es freut sich myfatherseye

Das sagte gestern Joan Baez über den Preis an Bob:

The Nobel Prize for Literature is yet another step towards immortality for Bob Dylan.
The rebellious, reclusive, unpredictable artist/composer is exactly where the Nobel Prize for Literature needs to be.

His gift with words is unsurpassable. Out of my repertoire spanning 60 years, no songs have been more moving
and worthy in their depth, darkness, fury, mystery, beauty, and humor than Bob’s.
None has been more of a pleasure to sing. None will come again.

Die Vergabe des Literaturnobelpreises an Bob Dylan finde ich völlig unangebracht.
Weil für mich das gesungene Wort nicht das geschriebene Wort ist. Und somit Songpoesie nicht Literatur. Sondern Musik.

Bob Dylan wird zudem vorrangig für den Teil seines Lebenswerkes ausgezeichnet, den er zwischen 1962 – 1966 erschaffen hat. Also mit den Alben THE FREEWHEELIN´ BOB DYLAN, ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN, BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME, HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED und BLONDE ON BLONDE.
Als Beispiele für Dylans Poesie wurden gestern Abend in den Fernsehnachrichten BLOWIN´ IN THE WIND, LIKE A ROLLING STONE und THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN´ genannt.
Alles richtige Beispiele für den größten Dichter der modernen Musik. Dylan hat in 14 Monaten mit die drei wegweisensden Alben der Sechziger aufgenommen und so auch das Spätwerk der Beatles – genauer Lennon/McCartneys – entscheidend inspiriert.

Aber wie gesagt: Dylan ist Musiker und kein Literat. Sein Ausflug in die Literatur – das Buch TARANTULA, 1966 geschrieben und erst vier Jahre später (!) veröffentlicht – ist ein Witz.
Lest es und lacht.

Wenn es einen Nobelpreis für Musik geben würde, hätte Bob Dylan ich als erster verdient.
Und danach John Lennon und Paul McCartney. Und dann erstmal niemand weiteres. Denn diese Komponisten haben mit ihrer Musik die Welt verändert.

Und wenn wir schon bei kuriosen Preisnominierungen und –vergaben sind: Joan Baez hat den Friedensnobelpreis mehr als verdient. Durch ihr durch ihre Musik getragenes politisches Engagement hat sie mehr für Frieden und Völkerverständigung getan als so manch eine/r, die/der dafür demokratisch nominiert worden ist.

Nochmal zurück zu Dylan: Er ist für mich der perfekte Rockmusiker. Derjenige, der mich – vor Clapton und den Stones – fasziniert wie kein anderer. Und mit dessen Werk, das für mich mit zum Weltkulturerbe gehört, ich mich am meisten beschäftige.

Aber Dylan ist Musiker und kein Literat. Und dementsprechend ist für ihn der Musiknobelpreis mehr als angebracht. Und nicht der für Literatur.

Laut der Hamburger Tageszeitung HAMBURGER MORGENPOST hat die Schwedische Akademie (die die Nobelpreise vergibt) die Versuche, den diesjährigen Träger des Nobelpreises für Literatur ans Telefon zu bekommen, aufgegeben (!). Sie haben es fünf Tage lang probiert. Erfolglos.

Nachdem man seinen Agenturen und die Tourneeleitung erreicht hat - was Wunder - hat man dem Träger des Nobelpreises für Literatur 2016 eine Einladung zur Entgegennahme des Preises am 10. Dezember 2016 in Stockholm per Post (!) zukommen lassen. Agent und Tourneeleitung wollen übrigens zu gegebener Zeit zurückrufen.

Bob Dylan hat am 10. Dezember 2016 übrigens keine kommerziellen Termine. Er könnte also kommen. Die Schwedische Akademie und die interessierte Weltöffentlichkeit werden sich in Geduld fassen müssen. The answer is blowin´ in the wind ...

Inzwischen haben wir ja viel gelesen und gehört zur Preisverleihung …und auch der Geehrte selbst hat sich mit dürren Worten geäußert.
Das aberwill ich euch nicht vorenthalten:

Wer es gern lesen möchte, hier die Rede von Bob Dylan, die in Stockholm vorgelesen wurde:

Good evening, everyone. I extend my warmest greetings to the members of the Swedish Academy and to all of the other distinguished guests in attendance tonight.

I'm sorry I can't be with you in person, but please know that I am most definitely with you in spirit and honored to be receiving such a prestigious prize. Being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature is something I never could have imagined or seen coming. From an early age, I've been familiar with and reading and absorbing the works of those who were deemed worthy of such a distinction: Kipling, Shaw, Thomas Mann, Pearl Buck, Albert Camus, Hemingway. These giants of literature whose works are taught in the schoolroom, housed in libraries around the world and spoken of in reverent tones have always made a deep impression. That I now join the names on such a list is truly beyond words.

I don't know if these men and women ever thought of the Nobel honor for themselves, but I suppose that anyone writing a book, or a poem, or a play anywhere in the world might harbor that secret dream deep down inside. It's probably buried so deep that they don't even know it's there.

If someone had ever told me that I had the slightest chance of winning the Nobel Prize, I would have to think that I'd have about the same odds as standing on the moon. In fact, during the year I was born and for a few years after, there wasn't anyone in the world who was considered good enough to win this Nobel Prize. So, I recognize that I am in very rare company, to say the least.

I was out on the road when I received this surprising news, and it took me more than a few minutes to properly process it. I began to think about William Shakespeare, the great literary figure. I would reckon he thought of himself as a dramatist. The thought that he was writing literature couldn't have entered his head. His words were written for the stage. Meant to be spoken not read. When he was writing Hamlet, I'm sure he was thinking about a lot of different things: "Who're the right actors for these roles?" "How should this be staged?" "Do I really want to set this in Denmark?" His creative vision and ambitions were no doubt at the forefront of his mind, but there were also more mundane matters to consider and deal with. "Is the financing in place?" "Are there enough good seats for my patrons?" "Where am I going to get a human skull?" I would bet that the farthest thing from Shakespeare's mind was the question "Is this literature?"

When I started writing songs as a teenager, and even as I started to achieve some renown for my abilities, my aspirations for these songs only went so far. I thought they could be heard in coffee houses or bars, maybe later in places like Carnegie Hall, the London Palladium. If I was really dreaming big, maybe I could imagine getting to make a record and then hearing my songs on the radio. That was really the big prize in my mind. Making records and hearing your songs on the radio meant that you were reaching a big audience and that you might get to keep doing what you had set out to do.

Well, I've been doing what I set out to do for a long time, now. I've made dozens of records and played thousands of concerts all around the world. But it's my songs that are at the vital center of almost everything I do. They seemed to have found a place in the lives of many people throughout many different cultures and I'm grateful for that.

But there's one thing I must say. As a performer I've played for 50,000 people and I've played for 50 people and I can tell you that it is harder to play for 50 people. 50,000 people have a singular persona, not so with 50. Each person has an individual, separate identity, a world unto themselves. They can perceive things more clearly. Your honesty and how it relates to the depth of your talent is tried. The fact that the Nobel committee is so small is not lost on me.

But, like Shakespeare, I too am often occupied with the pursuit of my creative endeavors and dealing with all aspects of life's mundane matters. "Who are the best musicians for these songs?" "Am I recording in the right studio?" "Is this song in the right key?" Some things never change, even in 400 years.

Not once have I ever had the time to ask myself, "Are my songs literature?"

So, I do thank the Swedish Academy, both for taking the time to consider that very question, and, ultimately, for providing such a wonderful answer.

My best wishes to you all,

Bob Dylan
