Dylan Feted with the Pulitzer!

Well, a first for popular songwriters (as opposed to classical or jazz). Bob Dylan's lyrics and music were always meant to be honoured, and there's no better way to do that than with a Pulitzer Prize.

The category for the 2008 prize in his honour is listed as a "Special Citation" for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."

Here, here!

May the Muse continue to be with Mr. Zimmerman and with us all...
