Bob Dylan was awarded a "special citation" from the Pulitzer Prize committee today, only the 38th person to receive such an honor in the 92-year history of the prize. "With Dylan we are recognizing a body of work," prize administrator Sig Gissler told the Columbia Spectator. "The Citation also reflects the effort of the Board over the last four years to broaden the scope of the music prize," which was given to Bang On A Can founder David Lang this year and which discovered the genre of jazz sometime around 1996. At this rate, Radiohead will win the music Pulitzer by 2045! If the awards still exist, that is. [Columbia Spectator]
