The disease not the song
https://www.mediaite.com/news/listen-in-midnight-debut-bob-dylan-drops-17-minute-epic-dirge-about-jfk-assassinationbecause-why-the-hell-not/
Just after midnight on Friday, folk and rock legend Bob Dylan released his first new song in eight years, and it is an epic, sorrowful 17-minute dirge about the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy titled “Murder Most Foul.”
Because of course it is.
The orchestral-like arrangement features only piano and strings and, per Dylan, was captured during a previous recording session but never released until now. The song was simultaneously rolled out on numerous streaming services, like Spotify, Apple Music, and Soundcloud, as well as YouTube.
