Just sat through 17 minutes of Bob Dylan's latest epic Murder Most Foul - a very strange piece of music - if music is what you would call it. Poetry, musings, ramblings. Little or no melody but that's what we have come to expect. So listening to 17 minutes of the same musical phrasing is somewhat difficult although the background pseudo classical music is quite interesting. No it's all about the lyrics - at times almost a stream of consciousness wrapped around the Kennedy assassination but mentioning as many musical and literary icons as Dylan can cram into 17 minutes.
At times it reminded me of American Pie without the melody, at others it reminded me of the work of a man with plenty on his mind and who is determined to insist on us hearing it all - that's if you can be bothered to spare the time. And I'm not sure I could invest another 17 minutes on it.
So now I'm revisiting Selling England By The Pound by Genesis which seems to be much more fun.
