Macau Daily Times | Edition 2663 | 14 Oct 2016 dylan wins nobel lit The times they are a-changin’

merican singer-songwriter Bob Dylan won the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature yesterday, a stunning announcement that Afor the first time bestowed the prestigious award on a musician for "having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition." Reporters and others gathered at the Swedish Academy's headquarters in Stockholm's Old Town reacted with a loud cheer as his name was read out. Dylan, 75, is arguably the most iconic poet- musician of his generation. Songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" became anthems for the U.S. anti-war and civil rights movements of the 1960s. His impact on popular culture was immense. But although he had been mentioned in the Nobel speculation for years, many experts had ruled him out, thinking the academy wouldn't extend its more than a century-old award to the world of music. They were wrong. The academy's permanent secretary, Sara Danius, said while Dylan performs his poetry in the form of songs, that's no different from the ancient Greeks, whose works were often performed to music. "Bob Dylan writes poetry for the ear," she said. "But it's perfectly fine to read his works as poetry." Dylan is the first American winner of the Nobel literature prize since Toni Morrison in 1993. Born on May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota, Dylan grew up in a Jewish middle-class family. By his early 20s, he had taken the folk music world by storm. From that time on, he would constantly reinvent himself — often enraging followers in the process — but then later winning them back and adding new admirers. His career was such a complicated pastiche of elusive, ever-changing styles that it took six actors to portray him in the 2007 movie based on his life, "I'm Not There." Although generally described as a rock musician, Dylan has been influenced by numerous musical styles, including country, gospel, blues, folk, pop, and rhythm and blues. Pursuing them all, sometimes separately and other times simultaneously, he remains a towering influence over music and popular culture. He won an Academy Award in 2001 for the song "Things Have Changed" and received a lifetime achievement award from the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 1991. In 2008, he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his contributions to music and American culture. The literature award was the last of this year's Nobel Prizes to be announced. The six awards will be handed out on Dec. 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel's death in 1896.

Maine — would allow some “so- cial use” of the drug, leaving the AP PHOTO potential for pot clubs or cafes. Currently, Alaska is the only legal weed state that allows on- site marijuana use, with “tasting rooms” possible in commercial dispensaries. But that state is still working on rules for how those consumption areas would work. For now, marijuana dining is limited to folks who hire private chefs to craft infused foods for meals served in their homes, or to special events like this one, limited to adults and set outside to avoid violating smoke-free air laws. Guests at the Colorado dinner were admittedly experimenting with pairing weed and food, many giggling as they toked be- tween bites.
