Bob Dylan releases 17-minute song about John F. Kennedy assassination
New York Post ^ | March 27, 2020 | Variety

...As the clock struck midnight on the east coast Friday morning, Dylan released a new song, “Murder Most Foul,” that has a 16:57 running time — and it’s an epic free association on the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy...In the song’s view, the killing of JFK, “right there in front of everyone’s eyes,” is the “greatest magic trick” — and one he presumably thinks has some relevance in 2020.

I really like Dylan but I probably won’t care for this song.

Ballad of Hurricane Carter was such a hit.

“Weird timing.”

It is Dylan after all.

“and one he presumably thinks has some relevance in 2020.”

Of course the topic has relevance. It was a coup, the plotters and their ilk have had a stranglehold on government since it happened, and their heirs in the intelligence community have a stranglehold on American government to this very day.

It really is the Rosetta stone of modern US politics. (last 6 decades)

I also found it odd that right after his inauguration, Trump promised to declassify the JFK files pertaining to the assassination. Then he backed away from that and said he would release only some of them and hold off on the others until later. That was about two years ago.

I listened to it yesterday.
It won’t join my collection of Dylan masterpieces.

There can only be one reason for that. And it isn’t “sources and methods” from 1963.

When he stated his intention to declassify them, the CIA blew a fuse and freaked out.

...Tells you all you need to know.

Bobby Zimmerman’s time has come and gone, a long time ago.

Heard it yesterday. He sounds like an old man and the song is almost painful like listening to Joe Biden.

James Damiano?

Joni Mitchell is on record of questioning Dylan’s authorship of songs and accusing him of outright theft.

That said...”Dylan wrote” so many amazing songs.

This weird song never mentions that JFK was murdered by a Communist.
