"Hurricane" is a song by Bob Dylan, released in 1975 on his album "Desire". It tells the story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a boxer who was wrongly convicted of murder in 1966. The song became one of Dylan's most famous protest songs, advocating for Carter's innocence and criticizing the legal system that led to his conviction.
Here are some key points about the song and its impact:
Lyrics: The song is notable for its detailed storytelling and advocacy for social justice. It describes Carter's arrest, trial, and the perceived injustice in his case.
Impact: "Hurricane" played a significant role in raising awareness about Rubin Carter's case and advocating for his release. Dylan's impassioned lyrics and powerful delivery brought international attention to the issue of racial injustice in the legal system.
Controversy: The song drew criticism from some quarters for its one-sided portrayal of the case, as well as for its accuracy in depicting certain events. However, it also spurred discussions about civil rights and the fairness of the legal process.
Legal Developments: While the song did not directly lead to Carter's release, it contributed to the public pressure that eventually led to his conviction being overturned in 1985.
Musical Style: "Hurricane" blends Dylan's folk-rock style with elements of protest music. It features a driving beat and Dylan's distinctive vocal delivery, which intensifies the urgency of the song's message.
Overall, "Hurricane" remains a powerful example of how music can be used to highlight social issues and advocate for justice. It continues to be regarded as one of Bob Dylan's most iconic songs and a hallmark of his career as a musician and social commentator.

This song came out in November 1975. I was 21, and one November night, driving home from work, Hurricane came on the radio. As I drove through the darkness, I felt as though I was in a time warp, it’s quite a long song, and I was totally mesmerized. By the time the song was over I also felt that I had watched a gritty crime movie, the evocative lyrics produced such vivid images in my head. I was also blown away by the brilliant violinist, Scarlett Rivera. I’m deeply saddened and disgusted that 50 years on, people of color are still denied justice. Driving, walking, shopping, living, etc. while Black in America are still dangerous pursuits.

This reaction is why I love your guys channel so much. I am white as a ghost, but I came from a mixed background and my Dad was heavily into Bob Dylan. So even as a kid I knew about the Hurricane. I have been baffled my whole life by clueless people who don't think this happens IRL. Whenever someone says they don't think "driving while Black" is a thing my mouth just drops. Pretty much I rule out that person for any real intelligence. In this day though, since the closet racists are all out now, there seems to be a lot of dumb, thuggish people out there. And by thuggish I don't mean in the way the media makes "thug" sound great. I mean in the cruel, dumba$$ mean way, which I hope through these examples sets a ripple of change. It's sad we seem to have to keep resetting and starting over. The truth is plain as day if people are honest and true. Peace to you guys!

They raised enough money to the defense of Rubin Carter. They got a new trial, but again he was considered guilty and many artists left the tour in the second year. He performed as a guest in the Martin Luther King "I Have a Dream" Speech. He later composed the song "The Lonesome death of Hattie Caroll".

The father and son thought they were being robbed since the cops didn't ID themselves. The father ran away and found an actual marked police car which drove the father over and found the undercover cops kicking the dead son's body. A white jury acquitted the cop but the family sued civilly and won the first major lawsuit against the NYPD, the cop was fired since he had shot another black man in the back before...and the NYPD put in new supervision rules

Dylan is a master of telling it like it is with great music to go with it. You guys should react to Dylan's song "Neighborhood Bully"...that's if you are not afraid with a very touchy subject. The "Neighborhood Bully" is about Israel. Another one to try is, "Masters of War". Many people know Dylan's well known songs but he has so many other songs that are great that most people probably don't know. He even has great songs on his Bootleg 1-3 collection of songs that did not make onto it an album. "Walking Down The Line" and "Let Me Die In My Footsteps" are two great songs from that album set....but there is so much more it's crazy how prolific and great Dylan is.

I would’ve never known about this if it hadn’t been for Bob. Stuff you don’t learn in school, goddamn. The lyric that Ollie picked up on, always got to me too. “ I’m just here to rob the register”. But instrumentally speaking, how creative do use of violin in this! Bob is brilliant.

The original lyric was: "I was only robbin the bodies, i hope you understand". They changed it for radio airplay.

Some others by Bob that are in this vein: ""Only a Pawn in Their Game" is a song written by Bob Dylan about the assassination of civil rights activist Medgar Evers in Jackson, Mississippi, on June 12, 1963. "Masters of War"--Always have the lyrics at hand as a recommendation.

He's not just telling the story, he's judging it!! And you hear his disgust throughout. Powerful!

Dylan's song brought the story to wider attention in 1975, no doubt giving a push towards justice.

I’ve been a subscriber for 8-9 months. In that time I feel I have gotten to know each of you somewhat. FWIW, I am a 64 year old white guy in Michigan. Not super-white, regular white (shout out to phenom) 😂 This was the most somber I have seen any of you start to finish. I get pissed off every time I hear this epic song. Like you, I am immediately aware of what it meant for Dylan to stop working on whatever else he was doing to take up this cause. I have read 3 books on this subject, 2 by Reuben himself. I gained respect for all 3 of you as I watched this. Your comments were productive, reasonable, and I could see that tremendous pain was there. There are many more people who agree with and support you than you may realize. Thank you for what you are doing for the world with your YT channel.

Tony! Thanks for rocking with us and coming on this musical journey with us. We are just friends talking about music on camera. It's a glimpse into our everyday dialogue! Ollie is grumpy, Corey is always happy, and Fenom is just down the middle. Nice balance!!!

Dylan did a number of songs about race, especially early in his career -- Oxford Town, Pawn in their Game, Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll. They're all among his best songs. He also did a song called George Jackson in the early 70s, not as well known but pretty powerful.

Rest In Peace, Rubin Carter "...the wounded man looked up through his one dying eye, said 'Why'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy.' ..." This is one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs. Have loved it since I first heard it at age 15. I am still saddened by this injustice, but was elated when the conviction was finally overturned and he regained his freedom ten years later, in 1985. Denzel Washington did an amazing job portraying Mr. Carter in the movie "Hurricane." If you haven't seen it, I recommend you check it out. Another great story on this album is 'Joey'. And a more recent Bob Dylan song is fantastic - would enjoy watching you react to it = 'Murder Most Foul' .

Dylan started off as a pure folk singer in the early 60's and caught a bunch of shit when he plugged in and electrified his sound. There's concert footage at a folk festival when he went electric. They booed him for it, check it out.

@darinmetzger9346 3 месяца назад

Audiences booed him that entire tour. The Band was his backup band at the time and drummer Levon Helm quit the tour cause he couldn’t take it. About 4 or 5 years later they went on tour again, or maybe almost a decade later ?, with Levon back on the kit and the tour was a success. Folks just needed to catch up I guess🤷‍♂️

@skzcnt 3 месяца назад

@@darinmetzger9346 I read that one of the main reasons audiences booed him was because the sound system just wasn't good enough and sounded a complete mess compared to his acoustic sets, though the soundboard recordings are incredible. Still a lot who felt betrayed by going electric!

@darinmetzger9346 3 месяца назад

@@skzcnt I just heard they booed them for playing electric. Up till that point Dylan was an acoustic guitar folk singer. Him plugging in fucked with his original fans minds and they felt he was disrespecting the ‘tradition’ that he came from🤷‍♂️😜

Similar Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll 1964 or The Death of Emmett Till 1963 by Bob Dylan or if you like first Rap Hip Hop It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) or Subterranean Homesick Blues
