Bob Dylan Mentions the Eagles in Epic New Song

[Delilah]

Well, not the “Eagles” literally but Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Take It to the Limit!

Yesterday on Twitter, Mr. Dylan announced the release of a “new” song about the Kennedy assassination and he name-drops a lot of cultural references, including movie titles and songs. Imagine my surprise when I hear the Eagles reference! There is speculation that the release of a song about a seminal historical event is intentional given the current environment.

This 17-minute song titled “Murder Most Foul” gave me chills the first time I heard it, and I’m not even a big Dylan fan. The Eagles reference is at 11:37.

Jiminy Christmas, I didn’t know Dylan was on Twitter. I’m gonna check that out. Thanks, Delilah! Hey D., if/when you’ve got the inclination, I added two little morsels to Randy’s discography and tv appearances in their respective threads.

P.S. God bless Dylan for remembering Carl Wilson.

Great, I will check them out!

Thanks, Delilah. It's a difficult song to listen to...the graphic nature (and length) limits it.
I know he was making a statement. I wish instead, our guys were referenced in a breezy, fun song about the '70s.
But he doesn't exactly write that type, does he?

Wow!

I'm not a fan of Dylan as a singer, but his songwriting is really second-to-none. I love when other artists cover his great songs. His voice can be a little nasally for me (same reason I want to shoot myself when I hear Jennifer Nettles sing!). I find this song to be pretty moving. It's definitely different, but that's ok. I'm sure it's not, but at least to me a 17 minute song has to be some time of record. Certainly long, lol.

The JFK assassination has been a topic I've researched a lot over the years. Countless YT videos, articles, podcasts. Even looked at the released documents such as the Warren report, House committee report, review board report, declassified memos, etc. While I'm not a member of the Tin Foil Hat Society, I definitely believe his assassination was an inside job and will hold that belief to the day I die. I also believe the same people who ordered it done on JFK are the exact same people who ordered it on RFK. RFK was set to be the next president. Much like JFK, everyone loved RFK and wanted that back in the Oval Office. I'm not a conspiracy theorist except when it comes to the Kennedys. To me, if you look at the information - particularly surrounding the Zapruder film, the autopsy, etc - you will find out that someone wanted these things to be "doctored" to look like the TSBD and Lee Harvey Oswald was really the source of it and to deny the Grassy Knoll shooter/multiple gunmen idea. Jack Ruby wanted to silence Oswald, but on the way to the jail Oswald claimed "I'm a patsy!". If there is enough interest in a debate about this, I would be open to creating a thread for it. I think it's a fascinating topic. While I'm normally not interested in forensics, I am here.

I’d be open to a thread about it. Austin, I’d be interested to hear what the possible motive would be to assassinate the Kennedys?
