This isn\u2019t entirely true. Reports also stated he was the first songwriter to win. This wasn\u2019t entirely true either. It turns out poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote a tune or two in his day.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide not to include T.S. Eliot as an American poet because he had emigrated to the U.K., then you have to accept Joseph Brodsky as American who emigrated from Russia. You could split hairs and say Bob Dylan is the first native American winning while living in America.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, there are a slate of full-time poets and novelists who are pissed off. Which seems to happen every year the prize is announced for one reason or another. <a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/4529524\/bob-dylan-nobel-prize-literature-reaction\/\">http:\/\/time.com\/4529524\/bob-dylan-nobel-prize-literature-reaction\/.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fictionistas usually feel like they should take precedent over poetry for reasons of cultural popularity and poets are always every-ready to be jealous of any competition from inside or outside their circles. I can easily see how a whole new subcategory could riffle their feathers. &quot;What\u2019s next? Bruce Springsteen?&quot; I do think Bob Dylan deserved the Nobel Prize for taking songwriting in folk and rock to a higher level (Both Scorsese&#39;s <em>No Direction Home<\/em> documentary and the book <em>Jingle Jangle Morning<\/em> touch on his elevation of the lyric) and for being a writing influence to so many writers and musicians worldwide. I also appreciate that he strongly problematizes the line between poets and songwriters. Poet\u2019s fully intend to die before this crepe-paper tent, the idea that poetry is somehow fundamentally different than song lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Songs are not poems!&quot; they say. But they kind of are. I would put up a few Sting, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen lyrics as poems; Bernie Taupin admits to having written poems that Elton John set to music. And many poets will concede that Dylan&#39;s lyrics are poetry. Plus, he has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigbangpoetry.com\/2014\/08\/summer-reading.html \">the best book of celebrity poetry I&#39;ve read so far<\/a>.&#0160; Many poetry verses have turned into songs and song verses have been just as inspiring and meaningful to people as poem stanzas, arguably more so in modern times. If you were presented with four lines of poetry and four lines of Bob Dylan lyrics, I\u2019ll bet you would be hard pressed to find a difference. You can\u2019t say, on the one hand, that form is essentially the power of rhythm but yet it doesn\u2019t quite reach the level of melody. That&#39;s just a game of intellectual Twister. The hard cold facts of life, (thank you Porter Wagoner), are that the American Songbook is a canon of literature and Dylan has made enormous worldwide contributions to it.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, Nobel judges have always followed their own drum. As I learned in my class, Nobel prizes are political and subjective. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nobelprize.org\/nobel_prizes\/literature\/laureates\/\">See the full list<\/a>. Sometimes writers win for a single work, sometimes for a body of work, sometimes in recognition of leadership qualities or other nebulous reasons. Many of their choices look obscure to us today.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/cherscholar.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef01b7c8a58f76970b-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"float: right;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cherbob4\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341d6c7753ef01b7c8a58f76970b img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef01b7c8a58f76970b-300wi.jpg?w=676&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"width: 300px; margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px;\" title=\"Cherbob4\" \/><\/a>Cher has recorded over 10 Dylan songs.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>&quot;All I Really Want to Do&quot; (1965) from <em>All I Really Want to Do<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;Don\u2019t Think Twice It\u2019s Alright&quot; (1965) from <em>All I Really Want to Do<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;Blowin In the Wind&quot; (1965) from <em>All I Really Want to Do<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;Like a Rolling Stone&quot; (1966) from <em>The Sonny Side of Cher<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;I Want You&quot; (1966) from <em>Cher<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;The Times They Are a Changing&quot; (1967) from <em>With Love<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;Masters of War&quot; (1968) from <em>Backstage<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;Tonight I\u2019ll Be Staying Here with You&quot; (1969) from <em>3614 Jackson Highway<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;I Threw It All Away&quot; (1969) from <em>3614 Jackson Highway<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;Lay Baby Lay (Lay Lady Lay)&quot; (1969) from <em>3614 Jackson Highway<\/em><\/li>\n<li>&quot;Mr. Tambourine Man&quot; on <em>The Sonny &amp; Cher Comedy Hour<\/em> (I love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_OXgjsqXE1Y\">this kooky version<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The fan blog, All Dylan, also gave a very lovely review of Cher\u2019s history of recording Dylan songs on her 70<sup>th<\/sup> birthday this year: <a href=\"http:\/\/alldylan.com\/cher-covers-bob-dylan\/\">http:\/\/alldylan.com\/cher-covers-bob-dylan\/.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dylan has gone all Woody Allen on us and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2016\/10\/17\/nobel-prize-committee-gives-up-trying-to-contact-bob-dylan\/\">has ignored the award<\/a>.
