Some individuals have claimed that there's no relationship between music and literary writings. Those who think there is a connection between music and literature are thus seeking to defend the Nobel committee's terrible judgment. Potter, 2016) concurs that music and literature are two examples of distinctly separate creative styles that use distinct mediums.

Literature is related with the conveyance of ideas via the written word, while music is described as the collection of separate sounds (Potter, 2016). According to Potter, (2016) to Dylan was thus never eligible for the prize, since his songs were never acknowledged as literature. Some could argue that it would be detrimental to the Nobel Prize community if Bob Dylan were given the prize instead of a more worthy author. For me it seems unjust that the only subject in which musicians may receive a Nobel Prize is in literature. But, regardless of the number of Grammys or other honours an artist may get, nothing can compare to the Nobel Prize. Until a separate prize is established for songwriters, musicians should be considered poets and so eligible for the Nobel Prize in literature. As one of the greatest artists of all time, Bob Dylan merited to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. Even poets have likened his lyrics to their own writings. Bob Dylan's receiving of the Nobel Prize in Literature righted an injustice by recognising musicians for the first time. Bob Dylan's triumph has fundamentally changed the situation. With each of these arguments, it is very evident that Bob Dylan was deserving of the Nobel Prize.
