This surprised me. For some reason I always assumed that the prize was for a particular work, and not a body of work. I presume that this is a lifetime achievement thing for Bob as opposed to an award for something he wrote recently.
He's a great storyteller. A lot of his songs are terrible, but the brilliant ones make him a strong net positive. These are a couple of my favorites. Well, dang. I can't find a good "Shelter from the storm" on youtube.

He's inexplicably made a career out of it.

This assumes that we're talking about the storytelling aspects of songwriting. Dylan's actual music is a lot less complex than Springsteen's.

I would have liked it better if Springsteen did the "singing". Bob Dylan makes Neil Young and Bon Scott sound like opera singers.

Geddy Lee might be a worse singer. It's close.

Apparently you didn't listen to all of it. The Boss does some singing in Forever Young.

I almost quit about 2 minutes in when I posted that, but then I decided to let it keep playing in the background. I didn't notice Springsteen's section though.

I get the earlier days. But now he's just a mumbling weirdo. He doesn't allow himself to be filmed. So, for Desert Trip they had to just put up old photo's throughout the show. So no shots of him actually playing. Here is what it looked like (the screens were the only way to see the artists for those of us in GA)
