Welcome to Litsy!

Waiting to see the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction winner, Bob Dylan, at the Shreveport Municipal, home to the Louisiana Hayride (Elvis's first professional gig).

I've seen some criticism of this year's choice but after last night's Nerd Nite Austin talk on concept albums I realize it's an excellent one. Music is poetry and, in fact, ancient poetry was often accompanied by music. In recognizing Dylan the human history of poetry and music is celebrated. Dylan's work also illustrates a deep understanding of a variety of social issues, which makes his selection all the more timely.

DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you're about WILL COME TRUE. It's a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it's a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It's best to keep that all inside.

Question of the day - Who would you award the Nobel Prize in literature to?

Probably more content in these 12 lines than numerous works of fiction. Truly a literary masterpiece this song.

Eh. I bought it on a fangirlish whim and it's too big for my bookshelf.
