The famous American musician and poet Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel prize for literature. Bob Dylan – it’s all in the lyrics of their songs, so to understand his greatness, it is desirable very good knowledge of English. And still live in America or in the English-speaking world to understand the imagery of the songs. Agree to understand, for example, a song by Grebenshikov, the Russian must not only know the language, but also to understand the complicated imagery of his songs. In General, who I never asked, I explained that “Dylan is an American Grebenshchikov.” Well, so be it – I will not argue that Dylan award was given for “the creation of a new poetic expression in the great song American tradition,” — so argues the decision of the Nobel Committee.
That is, he is a master of the text, this Bob Dylan.
However, much more interesting that the prize was Robert Allen Zimmerman is the real name of Dylan, and then we have to once again shout – “Again the Nobel prize for our give!” And it’s true, because after the many immigrants who fled tsarist Russia, and grandparents Zimmerman-Dylan fled from bullying and threats to life. So, Dylan is ours! his ancestors are from Odessa and Lithuania. This biographical turn makes you wonder: why do we, throughout history overlooked only replenish the gene pool of other countries, not Vice versa. According to the Committee of civil initiatives Alexei Kudrin is not the last day of the Kremlin human, from 1989 to 2015 Russia has left up to 18 million people. Of course, it’s nice that the children of those who left the country, maybe someday I will win a Nobel prize, but why from Russia “knocked” in such quantity – that is the question.
Bob Dylan capped awards: he has three Grammy awards, is “Oscar” and “Golden globe” for the music for the movie. And he has the Pulitzer prize is a literary prize. In General, people worked for the glory to himself and to his country. And there’s one of the highest award in America – the Presidential medal of Freedom. In General, it is a very important man for the English-speaking world. And the world recognized at the highest level the importance of it, Dylan, songs – though the song, in fact, there’s a simple thinking about life.
Of course, Bob Dylan is a huge talent, but looking at his biography, you know one fundamental difference between the society in which he lives, he is our society. Him, Dylan, appreciate the talent, not politics; by talent, not according to whether it supports some of the current American government.
An important difference from the world we are.
