Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) is of Lithuanian heritage !:smiley:
He comes from a Jewish family that emigrated from Lithuania. Such Jews were known as Litvacks. They had a reputation in Jewish Europe for being very intellectual and studious.

Music is like oxygen for me. I always have to have some good music pumping through me. From classical though rock and the current hash.
But when it comes to song writing poetry, Dylan is only one of many. It would have helped if he could actually sing.
If you give equal weight to songwriting and singing, I don't think Dylan surpasses Lennon/McCartney.
I think you are referring to BARACK Obama...the current President of the United States.
And BTW nobody gives two chits if you pay attention or not.
I think you mean Barack Hussein "Barry" Soetro Obama and nobody cares if you think nobody cares about his paying attention to Nobel Prize winners.
But really.. what the hell did President Obama do to deserve that award?
Anyone?
I like most of Dylan's work, but I am amazed that his "poetic expressions" qualify him for the most prestigious literature prize of all.

Obama provided the opportunity for ISIS to gain control of the region when he pulled our troops out of Iraq when there was a clear and present danger that the vacuum created by our withdrawal would lead to the present day ISIS situation in the area.
He received the award because he brought US troops home from Iraq. Nice feather in his cap, in his opinion, as a US president but look what was created by those actions.

"The copyright infringement case of James Damiano vs. Bob Dylan eclipses the conflict between Pharrell Williams, Robin Thicke and the Marvin Gaye Estate, which was settled relatively quickly. Bob Dylan’s alleged stealing of James Damiano’s songs and the law suit may be the most controversial story in the history of Rock ’n Roll. The Damiano camp says it’s been hidden from the public by the mainstream press for over 20 years.
Point of interest: Damiano, from Budd Lake, NJ,"
