Pure and unadulterated nonsense from Nairaland.

You bring to the front page the winner of the Nobel prize in Literature which has no economic value but refused doing same for Medicine, Economics, Physics, Chemistry and the always controversial Peace. undecided


Can someone tell me what economic, engineering, chemical, health and humanitarian value literature has given to the world?

When you listen to his folk songs, you ll have no choice but to respect him. Bob Dylan is not just a poet, but a poet with a difference. He deserves it!

Knockin on heaven's door
Blowin in the wind
I ll keep it with mine

Above are a few of my favourites by him..


Mehn take five.


This man was famous cos he began the age of songwriting with meaning impact.

Those old rock guys that sang and had lil sensible words cos of their drug addiction, etc were forced to start saying sensible words.

Well Zimmerman, as Dylan's former name is, is a legend and I can't but twale fro his big big works

Knocking on heaven's door was performed by Uriah Shelton on the movie Lifted

Also Blake Shelton was totally inspired by Dylan

Rob Shelton was his biographer. Seems everything Shelton is linked to Dylan.


C
download Uriah Shelton's version and you'll hit repeat.


Caracta, comman see my num 2 music best of al time

wink
