Not everyone applauded the award. Many of the disenchanted were themselves writers. Where does poetry end and lyrics begin? Is it merely the presence or absence of music? This week, Leigh Rich and P.T. Bridgeport will discuss the difference, with the help of resident musicologist Brian Renner. The 1960’s and 70’s saw the rise of rich, poignant lyrics from a host of sources – Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, and John Lennon, among many others. At the same time, poetry seemed to lose its way. Do the major poets of that era really include musicians? The Nobel Committee seems to think so. Brian, Leigh, and P.T. will try to work it on out.
