There is nothing to misread here: Dylan claims that JFK was murdered by 
a conspiracy.

The Guardian and the NYT and the New Yorker in their reviews 
painstakingly avoided the Argentinosaurus in the song.*

The silence is deafening. It's a conspiracy theory, you know. The CIA 
says so.

Still, the lyrics are clumsy at best, and I do not find the song very 
profound.


*"Songs build little rooms in time/ And housed within the song’s design/ 
Is the ghost the host has left behind/ To greet and sweep the guest 
inside/ Stoke the fire and sing his lines"
