Hey, I agree she is a TAINT, but let’s cut Stone a little slack. I could also point out his Putin interviews. But I hold off on condemning him for it. Au contraire, Paul. I researched her and gave her the benefit of the doubt. Not quite the same. She is a litmus test as far as I am concerned. My opinion. I'm entitled.

Sandy Larsen Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Wow, loved this review: https://forward.com/culture/music/443087/no-youre-wrong-bob-dylans-17-minute-song-is-a-work-of-epic-genius/ Some new things I learned from it: A 1967 book about the JFK assassination is also titled “Murder Most Foul.” Written by Stanley J. Marks, it is subtitled “The Conspiracy That Murdered President Kennedy.” Deep Ellum is a neighborhood in Dallas named after Elm Street. It is known for it rich musical history. The line "When you go down on Deep Ellum, put your money in your socks" is a from the song "Deep Ellum Blues," which has been sung by many artists including Bob Dylan himself.

Look at that line and the line that followed it: Play "Moonlight Sonata" in F-sharp And "A Key [F-sharp?] to the Highway" for the king on the harp F-sharp is a key, and the title of the song in the second line refers to a key. Maybe the king of the harp -- whoever that might be -- played "A Key to the Highway" using an F-sharp harmonica. BTW, I listened to the beginning of "Moonlight Sonata" and it reminds me of a funeral march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They is only one King on the Harp: "The song was a hit, spending fourteen weeks in the Billboard R&B chart where it reached number six in 1958.[6] After a six-year run of successful singles, Little Walter only had one charting single after "Key to the Highway". The song is included on several Little Walter compilation albums, including His Best. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_to_the_Highway "You probably already know that 12 Bar Blues is the most common form in blues. What's the second most common?... 8 Bar Blues. Listen to Little Walter's version of "Key to the Highway." Knowing that 2 Draw is the root note of the I Chord (one chord), 1+ is the root note of the IV Chord and 1 Draw is root note of the V Chord, see if you can figure out the chord progression. You'll need your C Harmonica for this (the song is in the key of G). "Hint, the first four bars is a standard V-IV-I-Turnaround, then it goes into an 8 Bar Progression." https://www.bluesharmonica.com/8_bar_blues_key_highway_little_walter Little Walter Key To The Highway G Major https://tunebat.com/Info/Key-To-The-Highway-Little-Walter/4E3Q2DOynwgP3VwBFf59kL Edited April 11, 2020 by David Andrews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually clears up a little mystery for me. When I read in that review that Murder Most Foul was also the name of a JFKA conspiracy book, that sounded familiar to me. I thought that somebody must have already posted that fact here. But when I did a search on the forum for that book, I found nothing. Now I know why I found nothing. It's because I read about the book in Jim's review, not on the forum! Speaking of Jim's review, I should mention that the review that I liked so much and posted isn't in the same class as Jim's. His review goes much deeper and is more detailed. You really need to be a conspiracy student to fully grasp it. The others I've been reading are for the masses. And the one I liked was from among those. Edited April 11, 2020 by Sandy Larsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with your assessment: his review is really brilliant. And could only have been written after decades of careful, in-depth research. If you have a chance, catch the Len Osanic interview. It amplifies and expands upon it all quite well. And you have to love Len's enthusiasm.

James DiEugenio Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 LOL 😀 Lifton was too insightful Ron. He even knew Cranor wanted to do a Hitchcock cameo. I told her not too. It would give the whole game away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
