Stanley Marks: Forgotten hero

On December 20th the two biggest Dylan blogs (Expectingrain.com and Dylanology on Facebook) posted a link to Len's interview with Bobbie Marks. Last I checked Expectingrain gets 25K unique visitors daily and the Facebook Dylanology group has 43K members. These were the same two that posted our links to the various Dylan / Marks pieces on K&K.

Do you have a link for ER? Thanks...

Thanks Anthony! I was just thinking of you while I was thumbing through his book on Reagan, because the research you're doing would dovetail with so much of it.

It definitely looks that way. I'd love to read that book someday but a cursory search suggests that volume is hard to find, just like some of his other books. But I'm sure Stanley would have some interesting things to say about the folks from that era.

It's great Marks is coming back into print after all this time.

Thank you, Rob.

It can't be stressed too strongly that Bob Dylan has not only an interest, but also seems to claim some kind of a connection to the assassination of President Kennedy.  Among other things, he has confirmed its Masonic connections.  I don't think we can begin to understand the assassination unless we take this into account.

Dylan may be a Mason.

I'm pleased to announce that Stanley J. Marks' MURDER MOST FOUL! is now back in print for the first time since 1967. Includes an in-depth biographical essay on the author's groundbreaking work and how it may have influenced Dylan. 400 pages, with illustrations. Available at Amazon, B&N, Bookfinder, and various other worldwide outlets.

I've just finally really gotten started on this, 50 pages.  Amazing already.  Marks got It better than anyone at the time.  The way Rob's intertwining what we know today reveals just how perceptive Stanley was.

About five months after Stanley Marks published "Murder Most Foul!" in September 1968, he completed a three-act play which he also titled "A Murder Most Foul." The play received a copyright on 19 February 1968. Although he published later versions of the play (which were revised to include the murders of Dr King and RFK), this first version was never published, although it was performed at least once. We have just reissued the play in paperback form. The book also includes an Intro that tells the story of the play, an Afterword by James DiEugenio, and an essay on "The Life and Times of Stanley J Marks," which features a chronology of all the salient information that we have on Stanley's life and accomplishments. Len Osanic and I discuss the play on Black Op Radio Show #1142. (Original airdate: Apr 13, 2023).

So...if you're a fan of both Stanley Marks and the Beatles, does that make you a Marks-ist/Lennon-ist? 

Pat, that's pretty baddd. . .  But I did chuckle!

More seriously, Congratulations Rob.  Quite an accomplishment.  A great way to get the story out to a larger audience.  Eventually on the silver screen?

Would love to see what Oliver Stone could do with this one! BTW Len Osanic did a great job in the interview - he actually read the play twice, and his enthusiasm was really inspiring. And the Afterword by Jim is brilliant.

Maybe I missed it in the books or have forgotten it.  But I don't remember knowing that that Five of Mark's books were cited in the HSCA report.  A Lot in the two I have relates.  What, in which five do they cite?
