To the hope of many and the disgust of some, a group of academics has, from 1996 onwards, yearly sent in a Nobel Prize nomination for Bob Dylan, nominating him to be rewarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Thirteen years later, Dylan has not yet received the Nobel; Bob Dylan could not care less. Frank Bond provides a critical look into the most prominent academic approaches to Dylan’s lyrics, and subsequently proposes a more productive and adequate analysis which also incorporates the musical elements of Dylan’s song lyrics. An interesting study now that Bob Dylan has won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
