Congratulations Bob Dylan ... And you say, "What does this mean?"


"Who is that man?"

Singer and songwriter Bob Dylan, 
one of the world’s most influential musicians, 
for “having created new poetic expressions 
within the great American song tradition,” 
in the words of the Swedish Academy. - NYT


YES!

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones? - Ballad of a Thin Man

Highway 61 Revisited - here.


All my dreams have come true.  Who would ever thought this could happen back then?


You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To all give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations
You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
It's well known
But something is happening here
And you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
