Yes, I know of Dylan's *House of the Rising Sun *and even a bit more about
it than below......so, yes, this is the first and richest start of
some explication but......I was just in SEVEN TYPES OF AMBIGUITY fashion
trying to add *more* resonances....I think I have learned about some of
Dylan's
self-driven forays into learning some inside stuff of American
history......story of him reading newspapers reporting on the Civil War at
the New York Public Library, for one
........
I know about New Orleans and the song but what I still find puzzling, and I
know I sorta work against my own words about loose loose associational
connections is
that the song is about girls who ruin themselves in inevitable, no other
way to survive, prostitution in that loose city. So, loosely, Jim Garrison
is kinda glanced at here?
Can't really carry those resonances for the sacrificed Pres, right? .....or
can?

"According to John Steel
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Steel_(drummer)>, Bob Dylan
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan> told him that when he first heard
The Animals' version on his car radio, he stopped to listen, "jumped out of
his car" and "banged on the bonnet", inspiring him to go electric.[30]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun#cite_note-30> Dave
Van Ronk <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Van_Ronk> said that The
Animals' version—like Dylan's version before it—was based on his
arrangement of the song.[31]
