BOB DYLAN MAKES HISTORY

I'm so excited! My Grandma sent this article to me. If you don't already know I am taking my Grandma to see Bob Dylan.
This is a dream come true for her to see the man whom she respects so much for his artistic ability. It is a dream come true for me because I get to go on this journey with her and share in her love of a respected American icon. Now he has been recognized by the Pulitzer for his amazing accomplishments. Cheers to Bob Dylan!

Dylan accorded honorary guide April 8, 2008

Thanks to Bob Dylan, rock'n roll has finally broken through the Pulitzer wall.

Dylan, the most acclaimed and influential songwriter of the past half century, who more than anyone brought rock from the streets to the lecture hall, received an honorary Pulitzer Prize on Monday, sited for his profound impact on popular and American culture marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.

It was the first time Pulitzer judges, who have long favored classical music, and, more recently, jazz, awarded an art form once dismissed as barbaric, even subversive.
