Song lyrics are written works, which are literature.

Hey I enjoy Dylan as much as the next person. I don't mind a good Dylan tune. But how original is his work? Are his lyrics his own or are they borrowed? I mean he's a known plagiarizer

. I just don't think song lyrics rise to the level of literature but if they do I would hope they are original content if we're talking Nobel Prize.

A federal plagiarism lawsuit was filed against Bob Dylan and Sony Records in 1995 by James Damiano; among the songs cited in the suit was "Dignity". The suit was dismissed in 1997, with the judge stating "there is no substantial similarity in the structure, instrumentation or melody of the two songs." An appeal was filed by Damiano and was dismissed in 1998.

I thought all the great ones steal, anyhow.

Thank you. Would the word irredeemable better state your case? Which word would Dylan use I wonder.

I thoroughly enjoyed the following essay:

Hazlitt on Hating

Which is found in this excellent book:

The Art-of the Personal-Essay-Anthology

I say it's time for a Winter thread.

I'm not going to start it but I always enjoy those OP's.

But it's still fall. I will start an official one soon, since some character named Ray Zee tried to start a bogus thread.

Nonetheless, thank you Ray for the bogus thread but that first post absolutely needs corrected as noted in post #2 if the thread is to ever have a semblance of a chance.
