“The soul of a nation’s been torn away,” Dylan sings in his first new song in nearly a decade. It’s about Kennedy—and a lot more

has always been a stubborn contrarian, so maybe it’s fitting that, after five decades of evading any and all responsibility as a “voice of a generation,” he is finally embracing it, kind of, at the height of the “OK Boomer” backlash. His new song, “Murder Most Foul,” which hewas “recorded a while back,” is an epic, 16-plus-minutes-long murder ballad about the assassination of John F.

So what are we to make of this new song? With the world experiencing a global pandemic on a scale not seen since 1918, and with a young generation seething with rage over the fallout from the perceived narcissism and selfishness of the baby boomers who launched him to global fame, Dylan has chosen this moment to release an extremely long song—his first original song in almost a decade, I might add—about the single most chewed-over trauma in the boomer historical hall of fame: the assassination...

Like most honest chroniclers of the assassination, Dylan invokes the conspiracies without attempting to either confirm or deny their validity:It happened so quick and so quick by surprise,Perfectly executed, skillfully done.
