Bob Dylan - Murder Most Foul

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NbQkyvbw18


Songwriters: Bob Dylan

Why that Bob Dylan guy, he has got to be crazy.
What a traitor to his country.
Why would he ever write a song about a conspiracy theory?
How very un-Americana of him.
I am going to be smashing all his records in the street.

Edit: name of the book is "the war on everyone."
Failing at linking directly... https://www.thewaroneveryone.com/

I would assume that link is just the book without jokes

What an awesome, incredible, innovative young man, with a no-quit attitude, and creativity to match.

So many great persons were initially either non-conventional/non-conforming, or became that way by way of life's curve balls.

The guy flat-out sounds like a character you could drink a beer or smoke a joint with, and probably spend a LOT of time laughing hard..
