Bob Dylan - Murder Most Foul

[Richard Smith]

Some guys don't know when to call it quits.

Yeah, Richard Smith is one of them.

I guess Roger called it quits.

[Bill Chapman]

If Dylan's name wasn't associated with it, the critics would have fallen down laughing at the childish lyrics.  But because Dylan wrote it, it must be genius.  Some guys don't know when to call it quits.

Those lyrics show that not unlike Picasso, the guy who used to be Bob Dylan left his worst work 'til last*... not to mention that he's actually talking more than singing, and WTF happened to the harmonica?

*Oh, the irony:
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

[John Iacoletti]

I guess Roger called it quits.

Says a guy calling himself “Richard Smith”.

[Richard Smith]

Those lyrics show that like Picasso, the guy who used to be Bob Dylan left his worst work 'til last* Not to mention he's actually talking more than singing, and WTF happened to the harmonica?

*Oh, the irony:
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Yes, it's pretty laughable like the third runner up in a write Bob Dylan song parody:


It was a dark day in Dallas, November '63
A day that will live on in infamy
President Kennedy was a-ridin' high
Good day to be livin' and a good day to die
Being led to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb

[John Iacoletti]

I'm sure that Bob Dylan welcomes the songwriting advice from "Richard Smith".

Kinda sad that Bob Dylan is making money from a murder. He's not adding anything new to the JFK case, only looking for attention IMO.

How is Dylan making money from an unreleased song?

And how about all those books for and against the lone nut theory? Money played no part, do you think?
