Brian for you of all people to downplay this amazes me.

A chance for the left to pat itself on the back again?????

No doubt The Beatles were awesome, influential and touched many...but Dylan was it it BEFORE them and has LASTED LONG AFTER them...and they NEVER WROTE ANYTHING like Dylan.

Great with melodies, solid lyrics...but NOTHING like Dylan.

Woody too...he actually collected existing folk songs...

And why bring in the Peace Prize, or any of the science priozes, or the economics prize. That's like saying apples suck because you don't like the oranges that come from the same distributor....or, no, you don't like Obama winning...so suddenly the process is entirely tainted

Your argument basically boils down to...The Beatles, together for about 4 years deserve it more, and anyway, the Nobel prizes are irrelevant these days...and leftist propaganda.
