Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday for work that the Swedish Academy described as “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”
He is the first American to win the prize since Toni Morrison in 1993, and a groundbreaking choice by the Nobel committee to select the first literature laureate whose career has primarily been as a musician.
Although long rumored as a contender for the prize, Dylan was far down the list of predicted winners, which included such renown writers as Haruki Murakami and Ngugi wa Thiong’o.
This is the second year in a row that the academy has turned away from fiction writers for the literature prize. And it’s possibly the first year that the prize has gone to someone who is primarily a musician, not a writer.
Consent is the magic key to the left?? Rushy gets it!!!
RUSH LIMBAUGH: You know what the magic word, the only thing that matters in American sexual mores today is? One thing. You can do anything, the left will promote and understand and tolerate anything, as long as there is one element. Do you know what it is? Consent. If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it’s perfectly fine. Whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left.
Rush gets it! Finally!!! No one cares what consenting adults do. Yes. Consent is the key word. Why has it taken Rush so long to figure this one out?
Donald Trump’s problem is that he is a sexual predator, if both he and his accusers are to be believed. He doesn’t understand that people’s bodies aren’t there for the taking. I have known people like this. They are the vilest of pigs. They never go quite far enough to break the law, in most cases. However, they have the ability to make people’s lives miserable.
Trump had better watch out. If many more violated women come forward, it might be he who is in jail.
