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"
