The 2008 Pulitzer Prizes were just announced, and 66-year-old Bob Dylan was given a "special citation" for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions and extraordinary poetic power." Very cool news.

 Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours. |

Way to think outside the box, Pulitzer jurors. Way cool.
Nice to also see "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Diaz amongst the winners -- it's in my to-read pile and just moved up closer to the top...

Ever since that movie of the week aired back in the 80s, I will forever associate the Pulitzer not with Hemingway or Frost, or even Woodward and Bernstein. Rather, it is the unfortunate pairing of Chynna Phillips and Perry King in Roxanne: The Prize Pulitzer that comes to mind each April when the awards are announced.
The horror, indeed.
In any event, I was thrilled to read about Dylan's award. And your old digs/my (adopted) hometown paper didn't do too badly, either.

Mr. Bush, and all you other murderous immoral hawks, read Bobby's words of old, they still echo throughout America today:
"You Masters of War,I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead!"
