Singer-songwriter, poet, and musical icon Bob Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature. I didn't know it was possible for a songwriter to win this award, but I can certainly vouch for Dylan's powerful, moving lyrics having listened to his songs countless times. I discussed Dylan and his Nobel Prize with some classes today and played Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'" as a reference for his music. I was struck by how much that song (posted below) STILL resonates today, even though it was first performed in 1964.
What do YOU think?
