Yeah, he sounds genuinely angry. This wasn't just a famous white musician making a buck off the story of a black man, who was wrongfully convicted. It wasn't "virtue signalling" either. He was honestly enraged by Rubin Carter's story and he wanted the world to know about what happened to that poor fellow and so many other black people in the US, he wanted other people to get angry about the racist justice system in the US as well. It's so sad that this song is still relevant in its' message today...

@@NKA23 Very true. And he'd already had a long list of civil rights (i.e. anti-racist) songs from the 60s, from The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, The Death of Emmitt Till, George Jackson, Only a Pawn in their Game (about the killing of Medger Evers). This was not a celebrity publicity stunt. Dylan is a difficult guy to get a handle on at times, but about some things, he's crystal clear.

Thank you for sharing this info!

It sure is a masterpiece. I am glad you loved my reaction

He wrote a few of those. I mean many of those.

True that he is so talented 🔥

I love bob but really they give the Nobel prize to anyone now

@@johnLennon255 We're looking at you, Barack 👀

What a sad story! May he RIP!

My favorite fighter. Next to Toronto George Chuvalo. Rube lived in Toronto.

Thanks for sharing this

According to the movie it was a bunch of Canadian people who worked the judicial system pushing to get his conviction re-examined. Plus Rubin spent his time in jail studying the law and contributed to his own defense.

You are welcome and thanks too

will check it out, thanks for the feedback

Since you like stories, try Mr. Tambourine Man first then - the most amazing lyrics I know. Look for the live performance at Newport in 1964 (only negative point there: one verse is omitted) or the album version (complete lyrics) directly from the official Bob Dylan channel. In the case of One more Cup of Coffee, go for the Rolling Thunder (Netflix docu) performance. Unbelievable delivery and phrasing in there. Keep on keeping on!

Thanks Jason for this info! I will be sure to check out the movie and the other song suggestions.

Thank you so much Bolly, I'll be sure to check them out!

@@africareact Hope you'll enjoy them then...they would make great subjects of reaction videos in my opinion.

I agree Mozambique beautiful song

Wow! Glad to hear the friendship that these two had, so admirable. Thanks for this info I had no idea about it and will definitely check out the movie.

@@africareact There is another reason they wanted Rubin's head. Watch the film. Its in the start of the movie!

Wow! Your dad is a true hero and people need to stand up against all social injustices in society so we can have a little heaven down here! I will check out the movie

he still is.

Aww! Thanks for the compliment and i am glad you enjoyed it!

Sending you hugs 🤗🥰

Aww! Thank you💖

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! From Kenya with love 💖💖💖💖

Hi too. Thanks for the suggestion, I will be sure to check it out

@@africareact you really must

Thanks for sharing this info and true, in the end the good guys win. I will check out your channel for sure and thanks for the sub😍

@@africareact Sounds good. 🤝

Better that Ali? That's hilarious.

@@werewolfhunter1347 yeah better than that loud mouth racist.

@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 i dont know whats funnier your name or your comments

Thanks a lot for sharing this 🙏

So very true. But I so much love the contrast and it shows what life truly is like

You're right Faye, but sometimes I tell myself that a lot of negative things are inherent in humans. And look for example at the Nobel Peace Prize; it is named after a man who invented explosives that helped kill other humans, a weapons manufacturer among others. And we chose him to represent the idea of peace!

@@christiang9718 to be fair, he kind of chose himself. We did collectively accept it though.

That's a method Bob Marley applied to a lot of his stuff purposely: catchy, upbeat music to bring attention to lyrics that condemn the injustice in the world. It definitely works.

I believe more people should stand up for justice in society

How is that?

@@africareact I will gladly give you a synopsis of this case. Firstly, I would suggest the following two videos: John Artis - Interview kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNF6hJiJtL-nn3k.html Rubin Carter - Interview kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNF_h9mJsJbYn58.html In the John Artis interview he gives the best summary of the case I have seen. The second video is an enlightening interview with Rubin Carter. The racial tension in America is high even today, one can only imagine how bad it was back in 1966. You have three white people killed and a fourth person wounded at a bar sometime between 2:20 and 2:40 am Saturday June 17, 1966. Rubin Carter was a well-known boxer at the time, hence the nickname "Hurricane". Rubin Carter had John Artis be his driver that night while they attended a nearby bar. John Artis was 19 years old at the time. The police in Paterson, New Jersey vindictively arrested Rubin Carter and John Artis for the murders. A few years later the Paterson police department had multiple officers arrested due to corruption. Rubin Carter and John Artis were arrested in spite of the fact that one of the victims, while at the hospital did not identify Rubin Carter as one of the shooters. The description of the assailants given by the prosecutions two primary witnesses did not match Carter and Artis. The murderers were described as being tall, light-skinned, pencil-thin mustache, and wearing dark clothing. John Artis was relatively tall, but none of the other descriptors matched Carter and Artis. Rubin Carter and John Artist were put on trial two times for the murders. The first trial Rubin Carter and John Artis were convicted by an all-white jury. The lead witness Alfred Bello and lead detective Vincent Desimone were two of the most deceitful characters involved in this case. Judge Samuel Larner presided over the first trial and stated he had serious doubts about the truthfulness of Alfred Bello. Rubin Carter and John Artis were sentenced to life in prison, with Rubin Carter receiving a double life sentence. They were a little more lenient on John Artis due to his young age. It was clear the police tried to intimidate the younger Jon Artis into implicating the more disliked Rubin Carter. Rubin Carter had a difficult upbringing, violent past (though nothing remotely close to murder), and he was very outspoken. He said things in public that even some blacks today probably would not say. Due to this the police likely had a personal vendetta against him. After fifteen years John Artis was paroled. Rubin Carter eventually made a petition to federal court and his conviction was overturned. The judge ruled the prosecution appealed to racism and concealed evidence. I do not know if you are from South Africa. Bob Dylan’s song Hurricane is in the same spirit as Peter Gabriel’s song about Steve Biko. Bob Dylan is thought of very highly by the black community in America. Bob Dylan also sung at the March on Washington. Keep doing reactions you have a lovely spirit.

lol.

🤣so funny

@@africareact He’s trying to justify what was done to Rubin.

Thanks for the insight
