  How do you define the term, who decides the definition and why should we listen to them over Nobel Prize giving types?

  the written word + music is still literature. So is a stage/screenplay; they just take an extra step after the writing.

  @nytimes Dylan is Rudyard Kipling set to music. Otherwise right, but way wrong on this.

  I can't agree. #BobDylan is a poet and an original voice. Never mind that he set his poetry to music.

  @nytimes There's no denying Dylan is a poet, and one with great societal influence on a global scale.

  @nytimes you say "remind" as if it's a truth they have forgotten, not an opinion in contradiction of the definition of the word.
