Russian musician questioned the popularity of the work of Dylan.
American rock musician Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel prize for literature unjustly, said the Russian musician Yuri Loza in an interview with NSN.
Dylan received the award “for the creation of a new poetic expression in the concept of American song tradition.” This angered the Vine, who noted that the American song tradition of “a hundred years”, in contrast to the song traditions of Europe, whose history goes back to ancient times.
“Why in American culture it is necessary to give a global prize? We have Vysotsky more invested in the Russian culture, but his candidacy for the Nobel prize had not considered! And his Bob Dylan is in China and Japan, and everywhere as many as you want. But the Nobel prize no one gives,” said Vine.
According to the musician’s world prize is to be awarded for achievements in world culture. “The Nobel prize has become pocket American prize is awarded now for achievements in American culture. Holy crap! It turns out, is an American award, which the Americans gave to ourselves” – he was indignant.
Vine also questioned the popularity of the work of Dylan. “There it no poetry! They know nobody knows and nobody has heard of! His poems never translated. And his songs, no orchestra in the world played, and he was never considered! Bob Dylan is a normal bard, which in any country in bulk!”, – he concluded.
The winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 2016 was the 75-year-old Dylan. The American musician is a nine-time winner of the award “Grammy”. In 2000 and 2001, he was awarded the “Oscar” and “Golden globe” for the soundtrack to the film “the Prodigies”.
