Here are my thoughts -

reubent - thank you for flagging this release for me to find - I am on my third listen via my LUMIN T 2 via my Maggie’s. The recording (via Tidal ) is world class - delicate and detailed. I love digital music! Did not have to wait for the ‘vinyl version’ . 

This is is why I visit this forum - you guys expand my ‘universe’

in reference to the lyrics - Bob Dylan is ‘The Poet’ of my generation. IMO he is highlighting the loss of John and Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King. He is criticizing our infatuation with ‘distractions’ (our current culture). He makes me think. He touches my soul! 

I just hope others listen listen closely to what this man is saying.

Happy Listening and stay healthy!


I consider Bob Dylan's "Murder Most Foul", a singular work of art that could be put on an exhibit at a museum.
Certainly the assassination of JFK marked the end of the age of innocence..
The Rolling Stone review asserts MMF is an attempt by Dylan to highlight the therapeutic value of all kinds of music during difficult times at yet another time currently when people need it.

Very insightful and I’ll buy that! Something that folks in these parts in particular can relate to, I'm sure.

The Kennedy assassination launched a lot of revolutionary cultural and related musical forces back in the sixties.

What now?
I respect Dylan but that song not my cup of tea. Hurricane was one of his great tribute,songs.
regarding the late president-s ,none better then the Great Dion’s song
Abraham,Marten & John !!
