Hugh Everett: Eh, Evil Bob Dylan doesn’t sound so bad if you know about quantum immortality.
traveler: I thought you said the Jack of Hearts song was evil?
Hugh Everett: Yeah, it has a bank robbery.

clue:

Hugh Everett believed in a branching world where his consciousness would always take a branch in which it existed. I think the term “quantum immortality” was only invented after his death, though.

The Jack of Hearts song also has a murder and a hanging.

give me a clue so sweet and true
