The 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature goes to Bob Dylan "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition". "Dylan's music and lyrics spoke to a generation of people during the tumultuous 1960s and helped galvanize the civil rights movement. " I got to know Bob Dylan from the movie Forest Gump, where the female protagonist Anne played the guitar and sang Dylan's song-Blowing in the Wind: " How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand? .......The answer is blowing in the wind”. Bob's music and lyrics are quite inspiring and have the power to speak right to the hearts of the younger generations. As a great artist, his music and songs have inspired generations of US people and others who spoke and understand English.
