First ever #1 on the chart. Bob Dylan does it and it's a 17 minute track about the JFK assassination. Murder Most Foul. He has been oh so close so many times. So, finally. Good on ya, Bob. A far cry from when we were starvin' in the snow in the Village, man. You remember that, right? Crash pad on Stuyvesant just off E. 9th -- 5th floor -- bangin' on the pipes tryin' to keep warm, but better than in the street. Good old days.
The song addresses the assassination of John F. Kennedy in the context of the greater American political and cultural history.
In a statement released with the song, Dylan indicated that "Murder Most Foul" was a gift to fans for their support and loyalty over the years
