Like a shot ricocheting at Heaven’s Door, Bob Dylan
has released a masterpiece dissecting JFK's
assassination
By Pepe Escobar
What
spectacular timing. Like a shot ricocheting at
Heaven’s Door as a virus pandemic rages and Planet
Lockdown is the new normal, Bob Dylan has produced a
stunning 17-minute
masterpiece dissecting
the November 22, 1963, assassination of JFK –
releasing it at midnight US Eastern Standard Time on
Thursday.
For baby
boomers, not to mention obsessive Dylanologists,
this is the ultimate sucker punch. Countless eyes
will be plunged into swimming pools revisiting all
the memories swirling around “the day they blew out
the brains of the king / Thousands were watching, no
one saw a thing.” But that’s not all: the
Dylanmobile takes us on a magical mystery tour of
the 60s and 70s, complete with the Beatles, the Age
of Aquarius and the Who’s “Tommy.”
If there’s
any cultural artifact capable of sending a powerful
jolt across a discombobulated America trying to come
to grips with a dystopic Desolation Row, this is it,
the work of America’s undisputed, true
Exceptionalist. The times, they are-a-changin’. Oh,
yes, they are.
There are
so many nuggets in Dylan’s lyrics they would be
worthy of a treatise, tracking the vortex of music,
literature, film references and interlocking
Americana.
