VULTURE: Bob Dylan’s New JFK Assassination Epic Couldn’t Be More Prescient
https://www.vulture.com/2020/03/bob-dylan-murder-most-foul-song-review.html
Wow! Talk about "going over one's head" or "missing the point" this writer is clueless and/or is just spinning what he is indoctrinated to see.
Here are some notable excerpts:
"… On the surface, “Murder Most Foul,” the first original Dylan song since 2012’s Tempest album, presents as a musical Zapruder film, documenting the scene in Dallas on the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in garish detail not unlike the grim, focused slice-of-life poetry Sun Kil Moon’s Mark Kozelek perfected on 2014’s Benji. The deeper you get into the song, the more you realize it’s not about the shooting, exactly. Really, the murder is mise-en-scène. The story here is the power of music as a respite in rapidly evolving times."
"…Dylan paints a picture of a decade that stumbled out of the gate but gained footing in an outpouring of art and hope. As the Kennedy allusions quiet down, and Dylan rattles off the names of timeless standards like an excited fan requesting songs from a DJ, “Murder Most Foul” reaches the highs of the singer-songwriter’s sharpest latter-day compositions. It’s an affecting finish. The great American songcatcher, whose got his start playing other people’s songs, tips his hat to those who came before and after him. The Nobel Prize for Literature awarded to Dylan in 2016 remains in good hands."
[LOL! Yeah, the Nobel Prize that Dylan showed little interest in accepting back in 2016, the same way he blew off Hillary and Obama's efforts to gain his political support].
"We are all, for the first time in years, facing the same foe. But we’re not all on the same page. Shoppers are hoarding precious supplies, and shops are ramping up the prices. People continue to gather in crowds in spite of orders from doctors and epidemiologists. Will this be a decade where we set aside our differences long enough to serve the greater good, or do we pry the union apart thread by thread, drunk on the myth of exceptionalism and the siren song of individualism?"
[The MSM once again twisting reality to fit into the ugly box they have made for it]
