Bob Dylan Wins Pulitzer Prize

Über songmeister Bob Dylan picked up a special honorary Pulitzer Prize on Monday for his “profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.”

It’s fitting that Dylan is the first rock musician to win an award typically reserved for classical composers.  He is widely considered rock music’s poet laureate, and his career has spanned over 40 years with no sign of stopping.  His most recent album, 2006’s Modern Times, was his best in years and showed that he can still combine insightful lyrics with good old-fashioned rock n’ roll.
