Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was eventually freed, thanks in a large part to Bob Dylan and this song. He brought attention to the injustice of the case.

[kevinogracia]

"It's a shame to live in a land where justice is a game."

[quatsch]

He did not get a nobel prize in literature for nothing.

[DIsmayedConfuse]

I’m really happy that young people are discovering Bob Dylan.

[zentherapist]

Never be another singer/songwriter like Bob Dylan. A prophet for the ages.

[warrenhughes]

What a story..and it all RHYMES..
Bob is a GENIUS..
This song helped Ruben get a re-trial!!!

[kwesting]

"Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land where justice is a game." The story of Rueben Carter could have been pulled from the headlines of yesterday's paper, but we are missing today's poetic voices and if there are any out there they aren't spitting the truth like Bob did.

[loiskondo]

This is about a true story. Dylan is a natural storyteller!

[jussihamalainen]

You want one song to explain why Bob Dylan is a genius? This is it.
"Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed
to live in a land where justice is a game"
Nobel prize earned right there.

[annakermode]

A protest song, but also a masterpiece. That’s our Bob.

[jeanineheath]

"To the black folks he was just a crazy n****r no one doubted that he pulled the trigger." Dylan exposed them all! This got Ruben a retrial. "And all the real criminals are free to drink martinis and watch the sunrise." If you have the time, pull up the lyrics and listen one more time. Great reaction! ❤❤❤❤

[mikeyhau]

I still remember the sheer ANGER I felt the first time I heard this song. I'm not American and I'm not black, but it still stirred strong feelings. I was so happy years later when I heard that the Hurricane had been exonerated. Tears of joy!

[rochellezimmerbishop]

Reuben Carter is the fighter Hurricane, who Dylan tried to get free from jail for many years. Dylan won the Nobel Prize for his songwriting and this song was pivotal in that decision.

[TommiBrem]

If you haven't done it yet, "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" is another great one.

[lindataggart]

That's our Bob Dylan..for the people.

[freemenofengland]

Bob Dylan was a real force of nature at the time, and a real prophet speaking truth to power and those who would listen.

[raenellefisher]

Bob had the beautiful, wonderful Scarlet Rivera playing violin on this song. I just love Dylan's "angry" songs. I recommend Dylan's Idiot Wind. Hurricane is a true story, and Dylan was instrumental in getting Rubin Hurricane Carter released.

[mikemicrael]

Fantastic reaction! The story of Ruben "Hurrican" Carter is a tragic one and illustrates some of the racism that contributed to the turbulence of the post WWII era. Bob's song helped bring attention to the injustice and he was eventually freed (unlike the innocent Leonard Peltier). There are some other great storytellers that others will suggest, but I recommend The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot (a true maritime disaster) and Ticking by Elton John, which I think is based loosely on a true story..

[targetshootr]

Dylan is a force of nature. Back then the n-word wasn't as radioactive. Around the same time Chevy Chase used it live on SNL in a skit with Richard Pryor.

[marieneu]

10:11 yes, this dude was a real person that was potentially one of the best boxers in the world, but his career was cut short. Luckily, he’s now out of jail many years later after it’s been proved he was innocent. Too late to give him back all he lost though. It’s a shame.
