Alternativ til Nobelprisen
Jeg synes snart Akademiet burde se i øjnene, at vi lever i en moderne tid. Mange rockpoeter kunne godt fortjene en nominering.
For eksempel Bono (U2), emnet er USA's selvforherligelse:
"Suit & tie comes up to me/His face red like the roses of a thorn bush./Like all the colors of a Royal Flush.!And he is pealing of those dollar bills,/Slappin' em down:/100!/200! And I can see those fighter planes./Yes, I see those fighter planes./Across the mudd-hutts where the children sleeps,/Through the valleys and the quiet city streets./We take the staircase to the first floor,/We turn the key and slowly unlock the door./A man breaths into a saxophone -/Through the walls, we hear the city roam: Outside is America! Outside is America!"
U2:Bullet The Blue
Eller hvad med Chris Cornell (Soundgarden/Audioslave), emnet er bekymringer om familiens sikkerhed:
"Well it's late in the hour/And a few more grains of sand will fall/On the colorfull flowers/That I've grown upon the dust and moss/And now I fear the worst is near/I hold them close /And count their years/Pray a ray of light appears/To shine down on us here."Audioslave: Shape Of Things To Come
Bare for at nævne et par exempler.
Jeg mener jo, at der er tale om litteratur.
Og lad os så iøvrigt få noget debat; lad os skændes om emnet Alternativ til Nobelprisen.
