Eighty years after the Trinity nuclear test, the incomparable Kronos Quartet has released a pair of tracks reinterpreting Bob Dylan's A Hard Rain’s A‐Gonna Fall.

Here's the first.

How many of the vocalists do you recognize?

No one can death outdo

I’m alive and so are you

and we go ice-skating (despite the ice)
and we go walking on water.

When you’re feeling
about as
bad as your
average

English translation
of Goethe you must
go see the
Parrot of Penance

and he will
say unto you
β€œWay around it?
Way around it?

There’s never been any
way around it”

I must admit I never thought of "compete-worthy" (clumsy as it is) as an adjective.

I guess crime is a legit profession to an administration led by a criminal. That's kind of the through line of everything, isn't it.
