The Rolling Stone review asserts MMF is an attempt by Dylan to highlight the therapeutic value of all kinds of music during difficult times at yet another time currently when people need it.

Very insightful and I’ll buy that! Something that folks in these parts in particular can relate to, I'm sure.

The Kennedy assassination launched a lot of revolutionary cultural and related musical forces back in the sixties.

What now?
Hmm well the song is very tastefully done, very understated but lovely musically and there is enough lyrical content to easily make all the way through. Not an easy task to pull off. I guess that’s why he’s Bob Dylan.
Interesting piece. The music is just there for accompaniment obviously. Not quite sure what to make of it or why released now of all times. I’m sure there is a reason. The insinuation seems to be that something sinister showed its face back then and has maintained a broad influence ever since.
