In the midst of a global pandemic, Bob Dylan has released his first original song in eight years. “Murder Most Foul” is a 17 minute long epic about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. But as with much of Dylan’s work, a closer look reveals much more.
In this episode, Laura not only gives her early impressions of the song, but also reflects on what it means to be a Bob Dylan fan in this day and age.
I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please share!
Definitely Dylan is now on Patreon, where you can support my work and get access to bonus episodes and more content.
Here’s the Spotify playlist with all the music referenced in “Murder Most Foul”:
Also, here’s the link to the Tom Paine award speech and the apology letter, and you might be interested in these Kennedy poems, which Dylan wrote shortly after the JFK assassination.
I hope you’re holding up out there and taking care of yourself both physically and mentally.
