More to the point, Bod Dylan has a new record, Murder most Foul. It might be a good album or not, though there's probably no going back to the Dylan of the '60s, or the '60s anyway. In any case, noone's going to find out how good the album is from a NYT article and I don't know why we have to spend so much time reading adverts disguised as thoughtful interviews.

Of course it's common for musical artists to speak up when they have a new release, but the interview was actually pretty thoughtful. That, and most if not all of his new stuff is available essentially for free through various channels...he doesn't need our money.

Dylan is among the treasures our lifetime and continues to influence many other musicians. The fact that he's not only still alive but also making music (even though it's gone in a direction I personally am not fond of) is a great gift for the world we live in now more than ever. A true intellectual.

The new record is “Rough and Rowdy Ways” and comes out on June 19th (note that this is a significant date).

Songs for the album: “Murder Most Foul”, “False Prothet”, and “I Contain Multitudes” were pre-released in the past month or so.

Thanks, my mistake. I confused the title of a song with the title of the album.
