Dylan visited Carter in prison on December 7, 1975 and the next day raised over $100,000 for Carter's defense at a Madison Square Garden concert with his Rolling Thunder Revue, which featured Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell and Roberta Flack. After they broke up in 1976 Dylan never preformed this song live again. Co written with Jacques Levy who also co-wrote most of the 'Desire' album. They took a lot of liberties with the lyrics, including most of the dialogue, which was necessary to make the song scan. Great tune. I'd suggest 'Lay, Lady, Lay' next. Cheers.

Bob Dylan received a Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. His music has moved the collective American soul for sixty years. So many social injustices he has tried to influence through music. He has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, 10 Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe and Academy Award. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame and in 2008 he received a special citation from the Pulitzer Prize board for profound contribution on American culture and music. Dylan is a legend and poet laureate, artist with exhibited paintings that should not to be overlooked.

This was a rebel call for people of the public to see what had been done. Rubin Carter ~ 'The Hurricane' was a middleweight boxer that was doing very well, until he stepped into that bar in N.J. ~ Things went downhill from there. He spent 20 years in jail for something he did not do. This is Bob Dylan shouting out about the injustice of this act. Rubin was hero in many ways. This song does bring enlightenment to so many. Thank you for sharing this! =)

@bluebird3281 Ай бұрын

Yes, I read about that as a grown man but as a young boy I heard this song in the early eighties and just assumed that they let Carter out after this song. I figured someone must have gone back and opened the case, Dylan made a compelling defense that I could even understand at that age and made it all rhyme so surely it must have been sorted out by the time I first heard the song. Nope it decades later he was released by the efforts the good attorneys from Canada.

It was a story of the time. The story was controversial, but Bob's lyrics and language were very much "the words of the time", meaning common speech. Yes, this song made a huge difference to Rubin's eventual future. Events and conviction were 1967, with Bob's song 1975, following a 1974 -76 retrial, when it was in the news, and the song on the radio, and I was a teenage Dylan fan. Rubin was eventually released in 1985 and moved to Canada. He could have been Champion of the World! Absolute mastery of metrics and rhyming. Sliding in and out of free verse, maintaining the cadence and changing the verse length. Only one Mr. Zimmerman.

Bob raging here and It gives me the chills everytime, the way he tells the outrageous story of Rubin Carter, unfiltered, crude... the best Dylan song to my taste, he never made it like this again, I don't recall him being this mad and pissed off afterwards, but I'm not a Dylan expert. Also, to reflect partially Bob's rage here, there's this line "he ain't no gentleman Jim" who is a boxing reference to James Corbett, one of the most notorious heavyweights ever and a well-known racist who lost his title against Jack Johnson, the first black boxer champion of the world.

@rickwiles8835 Ай бұрын

Dylan, truly believed Carter was wrongly accused and jailed for a murder he didn't commit. In 1974, Bello and Bradley withdrew their identifications of Carter and Artis, and these recantations were used as the basis for a motion for a new trial. Judge Samuel Larner denied the motion on December 11, saying they "lacked the ring of truth". Despite Larner's ruling, Madison Avenue advertising executive George Lois organized a campaign on Carter's behalf, increasing public support for a retrial or pardon. Boxer Muhammad Ali lent his support to the campaign (including publicly wishing Carter good luck on his appeal during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in September 1973). Bob Dylan co-wrote (with Jacques Levy) and performed a song called "Hurricane" (1975), which declared that Carter was innocent. On December 7, 1975, Dylan performed the song at a concert at Trenton State Prison, where Carter was temporarily an inmate. In 1985, Carter's attorneys filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in federal court. Later that year, Judge H. Lee Sarokin of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the writ, noting that the prosecution had been "predicated upon an appeal to racism rather than reason, and concealment rather than disclosure", and set aside the convictions. Carter, 48 years old, was freed without bail in November 1985. Carter lived in Toronto, Ontario, where he became a Canadian citizen, and was executive director of the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted (AIDWYC) from 1993 until 2005. Carter resigned when the AIDWYC declined to support Carter's protest of the appointment to a judgeship of Susan MacLean, who was the prosecutor of Canadian Guy Paul Morin, who served over eighteen years in prison for rape and murder until exonerated by DNA evidence. The Hurricane died in Toronto from Cancer on April 20, 2014 (aged 76) a free man..

Ths was lke 5th phase revival Dylan: acoustic Dylan, electric Dylan, songwriting Dylan (following motorbike accident and public withdrawal). Country Dylan, Back on track Dylan - with Blood on the Tracks Album and then Desire. To give an idea of how lost most of us had thought Dylan had become since the accident Bowie sang in 1971 ""Song For Bob Dylan" (lyrically excellent but not so good musically) Oh, hear this Robert Zimmerman I wrote a song for you About a strange young man called Dylan With a voice like sand and glue His words of truthful vengeance They could pin us to the floor Brought a few more people on And put the fear in a whole lot more.... .....She'll scratch this world to pieces As she comes on like a friend But a couple of songs from your old scrapbook Could send her home again" Like a Rolling Stone from the electric era Dylan 1965 has been consistently voted his masterpiece . ‘A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall’ 1963 from the acoustic era (it's chilling!) Whomever is giving you suggestions, doesn't seem to clued in on early Dylan. Given current events Masters of War from 1963 is more than relevant.

@TheColdrush22 Ай бұрын

It’s a great song, but his innocence/guilt is still highly disputed. Dylan stopped performing the song after a 1976 benefit concert, and several years later said that he had “easily (maybe too easily)” trusted the boxer’s version of events. He also was not “proved innocent” (courts don’t determine that, only “not guilty” of the charges brought), nor was he exonerated. From a 2017 Daily Beast article: “Vaunted lefty journalist Jack Newfield complained that “I knew Rubin Carter, attended his fights, covered his retrial, and I didn’t see much reality on the screen,” while also stressing that the judge who vacated Carter and Artis’s two convictions did “not say they were innocent, only that their rights were trampled on.” In 2000, another New York Times writer reminded readers that “Mr. Carter was never exonerated; he was released in 1985 when a federal judge ruled there had been procedural errors during the second trial, and prosecutors decided not to try him a third time.” This distinction is important-and is one that rightfully liberated Carter from prison-but it created a “wrongful” conviction of procedure, not of evidence.”

@allenelliott4964 Ай бұрын

Dylan takes quite a few liberties with the facts in the case. There's several web sites that lay out the actual facts. Carter was never the #1 contender. He'd reached #3 two years prior to the murder but he'd lost almost half of his last 15 fights at the time of the killing. His career was pretty much done. Witnesses identified a set a very distinct tail lights on the white getaway car. That description matched Carter's vehicle. Carter and John Artis were arrested less than 3 miles from the murder scene, not "Far away in another part of town" as Dylan sings. Nobody seems to know what the "Ruben's in South America fighting for his name" line means. Carter never fought in South America. Dylan's line about "Ruben could take a man out with just one punch, but he never liked to talk about it all that much" isn't accurate. Carter was known to brag about his fighting and often claimed that he'd once knocked out a horse. Carter had a very violent past including prison time. While out on bail for the triple murder, he was arrested for assaulting a woman who was working to free him. Carter's original verdict was thrown out and he received a 2nd trial where he was again convicted. It was not an all white jury in the 2nd trial. The flip side is that racial bias played a role in the conviction of Carter and Artis. They didn't get a fair trial but the matter of their innocence isn't so simple. Ultimately, Carter was released due to the fact that he didn't get a fair trial, his guilt or innocence wasn't a factor. There was evidence against Carter and Artis, so we'll likely never know for sure if they really did it or not. It certainly wasn't as one-sided as Dylan's Hurricane made it out to be. Hurricane is a great song which is why so many people tend to take it as fact.

But I’ll know my song well before I start singing. I think it’s amazing that he can remember all of lyrics and remember the cadence in which to sing them. It’s not just this song, but several of his songs.

It was a group of Canadian lawyers that helped free him, in the end. Watch the movie. It’s great

Hi guys. This is a true story. Dylan hit it on the head. Check out the movie. It's called "Hurricane". Starring Denzel Washington. One of Denzels best movies.

Bradley sued for defamation, but the judge dismissed the case on the basis of the defense showing that that the song was substantially true.

The most poignant line is "and give him back the time he's done" which shows that even though Carter was ultimately freed after many, many years, even his release and clearing his name could not remove the injustice in full. If you like this kind of storytelling, but in his earlier folk style of the early '60s, check out The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll.

Great video. A+ Dylan is my favorite musical artist. My favorite song is his "Like A Rolling Stone" which is a lesson in humility for us all. For those new to Bob, I'd recommend "Tangled Up In Blue" as a good example of his storytelling prowess.

Hey Guys, not sure if you know this but there was a movie called "Hurricane". Starring Denzel Washington in the lead role as Ruben Huricane Carter. It was a pretty good movie in my opinion...😁😁

Scarlet Rivera plays violin on this and really creates the atmosphere with help from the amazing bass guitar of Rob Rothstein (Rob Stoner). Check out the entire album. It's a masterpiece. As for the N-word. There was no controversy about it at the time, nor would there have been. It was a different time altogether. If you didn't live it, you wouldn't understand it.
