Congratulations to Bob Dylan the Nobel Laureate For Literature for 2016.
Way to go Bob. Now you belong to the ages.
Below is an excerpt from the liner notes on the back of the album Another Side of Bob Dylan:
(swingin' wanda's
down in new orleans
rumbles across
brick written
swear word
vulgar wall
in new york city)
no they can't make it
off the banks of their river
i am in their river
(i wonder if he jumped
i really wonder if he jumped)
i turn corner
t' get off river
an' get off river
still goin' up
i about face
an' discover
that i'm on another river
(this time. king rex
blesses me with plastic beads
an' toot toot whistles
paper rings an' things.
royal street.
bourbon street
st. claude an' esplanade
pass an' pull
everything out of shape
joe b. stuart
white southern poet
holds me up
we charge through casa
blazin' jukebox
gumbo overflowin'
get kicked out of colored bar
streets jammed
hypnotic stars explode
in louisiana murder night
everything's wedged
arm in arm
stoned galore
must see you in mobile then
down governor nichel
an' gone)
