JFK alive? Alluding the old man at 14:21 is him - https://youtu.be/rKkpj3bNVaY?t=861

Comment mentions John Lennon. Known as a man of the people. I am skeptical though. Controlled opposition? He was a Beatles member. Yoko Ono is weird.

Bob Dylan is a devil worshipper. He sold his soul https://youtu.be/ftdeb4ejQSg

"Greetings to my fans and followers with gratitude for all your support and loyalty over the years.
This is an unreleased song we recorded a while back that you might find interesting.
Stay safe, stay observant and may God be with you."
😳
He definitely released this song now for a reason deeper than we currently understand.

This is an extremely beautiful and moving song, but more than that, it's an extraordinary work of art that evinces great love and appreciation for JFK. I don't think it's any coincidence that it was released now, on the very eve of The Storm, a storm that has has been brewing since 1963.
The comments alleging Mr. Dylan "sold his soul" are inappropriate (1) because who the hell are you to pass judgement? Are YOU without sin? (2) He didn't actually say that in the video, (3) Even if he did, it's never too late to atone for past mistakes, and (4) most importantly THIS SONG IS ABOUT JFK not about the writer or performer! This song creates a profound sense of reverie for our lost friend, fellow PATRIOT and brother, President John F Kennedy. This is neither the time nor place for bitter criticisms of the artist who created this masterpiece.

He said himself that he sold his soul. Why would you have a problem with people pointing that out. It's even on video, you can watch him say that he sold his soul

In the linked video Bob Dylan specifically said he made a bargain "with the Chief, the Chief Commander... In this world and in a world we can't see." He could have been speaking about GOD — that's my "Chief Commander," and "a world we can't see" could mean HEAVEN. He's a poet.
Lots of people pledge their lives to GOD and feel an obligation to fulfill God's mission. I don't know one way or the other what Dylan was referring to. But I do know what I hear when I play the video of Dylan's interview you are referring to and I object to someone INTERPRETING someone's words and claiming it as fact. It's a theory.

Murder Most Foul
Bob Dylan
Twas a dark day in Dallas, November '63
A day that will live on in infamy
President Kennedy was a-ridin’ high
Good day to be livin' and a good day to die
Being led to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb
He said, "Wait a minute, boys, you know who I am?"
"Of course we do. We know who you are."
Then they blew off his head while he was still in the car
Shot down like a dog in broad daylight
Was a matter of timing and the timing was right
You got unpaid debts; we've come to collect
We're gonna kill you with hatred; without any respect
We'll mock you and shock you and we'll put it in your face
We've already got someone here to take your place
The day they blew out the brains of the king
Thousands were watching; no one saw a thing
It happened so quickly, so quick, by surprise
Right there in front of everyone's eyes
Greatest magic trick ever under the sun
Perfectly executed, skillfully done
Wolfman, oh wolfman, oh wolfman howl
Rub-a-dub-dub, it's a murder most foul
Hush, little children. You'll understand
The Beatles are comin'; they're gonna hold your hand
Slide down the banister, go get your coat
Ferry 'cross the Mersey and go for the throat
There's three bums comin' all dressed in rags
Pick up the pieces and lower the flags
I'm going to Woodstock; it's the Aquarian Age
Then I'll go to Altamont and sit near the stage
Put your head out the window; let the good times roll
There's a party going on behind the Grassy Knoll
