I will drop it, then.
It was meant to joke (in an antithetical way, from the Greek antithetikós) with the irrelevance and absurdity of all this strife (from the Old French estrif) around BD & NP

I have never been a big fan of Dylan's. I will, though, be eternally grateful for the influence he indubitably had over one of the finest songwriters of all time, one Paul Simon, who, in tandem with that man with such a beautiful voice, Art, created music that will live not just with me for ever, but will be a part of musical history for many centuries.
That, rather than some silly prize, is what I will appreciate him for.

I wouldn't have voted that way myself.. but to be fair and balanced... Dylan was no Burt Bacharach and mere peddler of songs. If they were to take it where they did... Dylan made perfect sense. NO songwriter has had the lasting importance.
A poet of our age... just set to music...
I wouldn't have gone there myself if I had a say in it... but it still makes perfect sense.. as I half assed joked.. it is was 40 years overdue perhaps.. but consider it more a lifetime achievement award for perhaps having the importance and influence through his words of any writer in the last half century.

So many real writers around the world who could really use the extra recognition a Nobel brings...
But they give the award to the song peddler...

yeah man... if Dylan got peoples panties in a twist... just wait till the Noble community gets with the times and gives the Literature award to Internet posting brilliance... I hope to live long enough to get MY Noble Award and be fully recognized... Micky.. the Bob Dylan of internet Literary brilliance... umm hmmm.. I like the sounds of that.. though.. I suspect Ivan himself will get a few votes... he is something isn't he.

… And looks like Bob DYLAN himself would have no interest in Novel Prize 4 Literature because simply he would have written lyrics he wanted to claim … only people inspired by him (whether in a good sense or not) get excited. What an irony. 
Guess Bob would be happy to be appreciated upon the Grammy Award or musical authorities.
No excitement needed as for it, imho …
Anyway as Teo or others said, I cannot understand but Nobel Prize for scientific fields honest to say … not because Haruki MURAKAMI has not got the Prize yet.
