Bob Dylan Wins a Pulitzer Prize

Bob Dylan wins a Special Citation from the Pulitzer Prizes.

"A Special Citation to Bob Dylan for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."

After being short-listed for the Nobel Prize in Literature a few times, how excited does one get about a Pulitzer Prize "Special Citation"?

Only 13 people (all men) have previously won the Special Citation. The list includes:

E.B. White (1978)
Milton Babbitt (1982)
Theodor Seuss Geisel (1984)
Thelonious Monk (2006)
John Coltrane (2007)
Ray Bradbury (2007)

At least they gave it to Dylan before he died. Monk in 2006? Coltrane in 2007?

Maybe one day a woman will win . . . . Seems like there have been one or two important women in American history.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch . . . .
