Thank goodness for moderation. Absolutely and by a wide margin the most significant, influential, "important" artist of the 20th Century---bar none,** Yikes! Appreciate the appreciation (and the artist); but, really? Congrats, Bob!

Likewise, the true significance of the award should be tempered by the acknowledgment of the inherent politizarion of the nomination process; this, best exemplified by the award of the Peace Price to a president who's achievements at the time of the award were largely only ideas which remain mostly unrealized. Still, congrats, Bob.
