Murder Most Foul (Dylan)

For those of us who remember where we were on November 22, 1963, this song by Bob Dylan is equivalent to Walt Whitman's elegy to Abraham Lincoln, "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d."

A review in Tikkun Magazine gives a detailed perspective of the 17-minute song proferring that "In counting down ten consecutive POTUS from JFK to Trump, Bob Dylan sets to music the devolution of the American Dream from light to darkness, mirroring the ten characters in the Passover rhyme Chad Gadya."

The Guardian ran an article by Alex Petridis which speculates the role of art and music in a time of apocalyptic dread.
