This is an unreleased song we recorded awhile back, that you might find interesting.
I gave it the title of "Murder Most Foul" - going back to that tragic day in Dallas,
on November 22nd, 1963 - when they shot our President down in cold blood.
After I recorded it, a lot of people had their own ideas about this song.
Does it have to do with the collapse of the American dream?
All I remember is that there was a certain evil within our midst - not seen in a hundred years.
What I consider to be "Murder Most Foul" - robbed us of President Kennedy's brain,
robbed us of a symbol for the positive, forward-looking American spirit
which John F. Kennedy represented.
Nearly six decades later, we haven't forgotten.
Now with this Covid-19 upon us, social distancing, and the death of thousands,
due to the failures and incompetence of our leaders and the powers that be,
reminds me of JFK's assassination - and today, we've got this global pandemic to deal with.
World gone wrong, all over again.
Stay safe, stay observant, and may God be with you.
- Bob Dylan (March 27th, 2020)
