     Reader Comments in The Guardian, on Bob Dylan's new song, "Murder Most Foul" --

~  This is going to keep us Dylanologists busy for years.  Multiple footnotes on every line.  Good ol' Bob.  Welcome back!

~  One of the few artists who could generate, good or bad, such a response by simply releasing one song.
     Many ego-tripping Minstrels would love that kind of firepower.


~  I am enthralled hearing you all comment on the news, the lyrics, references, etc.  Learning!  I am grateful Dylan release this work at such a trying time.  

Tons of informed people have something to say.  Pro or against, it doesn't matter.  It takes our minds off the most odious subject, traveling from home to home, from country to country.



~  Well, the question is, do we go back to normal after this crisis and get lulled back into self delusion and the status quo or do we drive change.

~  An evocative dream like quality that wanders through the Twentieth Century - certainly play Dylan for me.
